Street Hypnosis Exposed


CD 1 – Hypnosis Uncovered

Introduction To CD1
Track 1 1:28

Welcome to “Street Hypnosis Exposed.” In this first CD, entitled “Hypnosis Uncovered,
Your No BS Insider’s Guide to Hypnosis,” I want to uncover the secrets of making
hypnosis work for you.

Over our next hour together, you will discover what hypnosis is and the tremendous
power that you have at your fingertips. You'll discover what people have used hypnosis
for through the ages. We’ll look at the myths that surround hypnosis so that you can tell
the difference between hypnotic myth and hypnotic fact.

Next we’re going to look at the psychological principles that make hypnosis work, so that
after a brief safety statement we can launch straight into your very first hypnotic
induction. I'm going to show you step-by-step what to do, why you should do it, and how
you should be doing it. Then I will give you a demonstration of a complete hypnotic
induction in action.

Finally, we’ll finish this CD off with a discussion of ten different, novel, quirky, and
interesting hypnotic inductions that you can try out for yourself. As soon as you’re ready
to do that simply sit back, relax, and enjoy “Street Hypnosis Exposed.”

Discover The Power Of Hypnosis


Track 2 7:03

Hypnosis is ancient. It's about as ancient as human beings are ancient. Ever since human
beings started dancing around fires—or in caves or in woods—in order to change their
state of mind to alter their reality so that they could access special abilities, so people
have been using hypnosis.

We have records of hypnotic techniques being used in Egyptian temples, by the Greeks in
their oracle temples, by the Romans, and further on. In our own history in the West we’ve
had people who have the healing touch, who use magnets and all kinds of other strange
and wonderful cures which worked, even though medically speaking they shouldn’t have
worked. All this comes down to the power of hypnosis.

So what can you use hypnosis for?

After all, you’re about to dive into the world of hypnosis and becoming a hypnotist. What
can you do with it?

In my opinion, hypnosis is a tremendous force for good. In one respect, you can think of
hypnosis as a way of augmenting other experiences: it makes them more and more
powerful. At the same time, it opens doors inside your unconscious to places that you
don’t normally have access over. For example you have the ability to change your heart
beat, your blood sugar levels, your body temperature, and your metabolism, all under
hypnosis.

Two Case Histories


Here are some examples from my own personal, private hypnotherapy practice. One
client, let's call her Mary, was a chain smoker. She used to smoke a pack—sometimes
even two packs—of cigarettes every single day. She was stressed at work.

She was busy, and she was afraid of quitting smoking because she thought she would
gain weight. She tried in the past by just using her will power, and failed every single
time. Not only did she fail, she failed and she put on weight as well, leaving her feeling
worse than she felt before she even started trying to quit.

The amazing thing is that after a one-hour session using hypnosis, she walked out being a
nonsmoker. In fact, she wrote me a card not long afterwards telling me how much better
she felt. She could breathe more easily. She is getting fitter. She can walk up and down
the stairs. She is feeling calmer.

Best of all she managed to quit smoking with no withdrawal symptoms. She didn’t miss
the cigarettes and she never gained an ounce of weight. In fact, she ended up losing some
weight.

Another client, let's call him Peter, had a totally different problem. He was frustrated and
upset with himself because he thought he was weak-willed. You see, he had all kinds of
habits like nail biting that he wanted to stop, but he couldn’t.

He had other habits which he knew were good for him—like eating fresh fruits and going
to the gym—that he wanted to start, but he never quite got ‘round to doing it. He would
always lose momentum just after he started.

Again, after a short course of hypnosis sessions with Peter, not only did he take every
single one of the bad habits he had identified and quit them, he also started doing all
kinds of healthy activities instead. He stayed doing these activities. They became a
natural part of his everyday world.

Hypnosis has the power to change people from the inside out and, therefore, make
changes really easy. All learning, all behavior, and all change happen inside first, on the
unconscious level.

Strange Hypnotic Powers


Hypnosis is renowned for having all kinds of strange phenomenon; for example, the
ability to control pain. There's a hypnotic technique called glove anesthesia with which
you can completely numb an arm, a part of the body, any part of yourself. Thousands of
people have used this technique or something similar very, very usefully; for example,
when they’ve had an accident and couldn’t get immediate medical assistance.

It's been used for countless births without drugs or any other paraphernalia, and no pain.

It's also been used for full blown surgery when, otherwise, people have been knocked out
with all these dangerous chemical gases. They can use hypnosis and completely numb the
body to the point where people have actually had open heart surgery and carried on a
conversation with the doctor in the middle of it.

These are some of the strange, bizarre things that hypnosis is capable of. Some other
things, for example, include things like hallucinations. You can see things that don’t exist
in the real world, or not see things that are right in front of your face. In hypnosis you can
take things away from your experience and put things in its place.

This becomes tremendously useful; for example, when you want to learn a new skill. You
can hallucinate an instrument that doesn’t exist and carry it around everywhere you go.
You can change your perception of time. People have used hypnotic time distortion in
order to learn new skills more quickly. You can spend a few minutes in hypnosis and feel
like you’ve been practicing the guitar or the piano for several hours.

In hypnosis you also have access to memories that you otherwise have no access towards.
For example, in forensic hypnosis a police or police-authorized hypnotist can help
someone who has been involved in some kind of a crime scene to go back to the event
and remember minute details that otherwise escape them. Under hypnosis people have
recalled the number plate of a car that was speeding by. They have recalled small, little
facts about a room that were different, which allow the police then to solve the crime.

Hypnosis Is A Force For Good


Hypnosis is a tremendous force for good. All kinds of different things respond really
powerfully to hypnosis. For example, skin conditions like warts or psoriasis have been
cleared up, sometimes within minutes, by just using hypnosis. Problems swallowing, or
with bowel movements, changing your blood sugar level, healing, for example. Hypnosis
is used in many different cancer programs as an adjunct to the chemotherapy processes.
Your immune system actually gets stronger when you're hypnotized. You can control
bleeding and pain, which is of immense use to dentists.

Beyond the physical realm, there are all kinds of other doors hypnosis opens up to you.

For example, people under hypnosis are much better at problem solving, which is of
tremendous value in businesses as well as in academic institutions. Your creativity gets
better, so you can remove writer’s block, or you can help artists to create better and more
creative works of art.

Of course, there are the staple things like smoking and weight control, overcoming fears
and phobias, increasing your confidence, and even your concentration and memory. All
of these things can be improved with hypnosis. The skills that you're about to learn are
not only fascinating, but they are highly practical tools for improving everybody’s life.

Unmasking The Myths Of Hypnosis


Track 3 7:27

Now that you know a little bit about what hypnosis is capable of, we need to address
some of the limitations built into hypnosis, some of the myths that people have around
hypnosis. People do think that hypnosis is an all-powerful force that controls people’s
minds, is capable of leaping tall buildings, and doing all kinds of crazy things. As a
hypnotist you really need to understand what you can achieve, and what the limits are to
what is possible with hypnosis.

Myth 1: Hypnotic Mind Control


One of the first limits is this idea of mind control. Mind control hypnosis does not exist.
When someone is hypnotized, they are not your slave. They are not someone who has to
do everything you tell them to. In hypnosis they merely want to do more of the things you
suggest to them.

However, there are limits. For example, you cannot get someone to break their moral
code under hypnosis. You can’t force someone to commit a crime like murder or theft if
they wouldn’t be willing to do that crime under normal circumstances anyway.

The reverse is also true. You can't treat criminal behavior with just hypnosis. You need to
have the person’s will included in the process. If someone is, for example, a
kleptomaniac—that is to say, someone who has to keep stealing things, but they want to
stop stealing—then hypnosis can be used tremendously well.

If someone is a thief and doesn’t care about being a thief, then hypnosis will do nothing
to change that person. If it worked differently then we wouldn’t need prisons. We would
just send hypnotists in and we’d solve all those problems that are currently faced by the
prison population.

In hypnosis, your mind is still under your control. The difference is that in hypnosis you
get to experience things that you otherwise would not allow yourself to experience. As a
result, you get to enjoy a different kind of life. You get to test out what life would be like
if the world was different. If you like it, you get to keep it.

Myth 2: Hypnotic Sleep


Hypnosis is not mind control, and just like hypnosis isn’t mind control, another thing that
hypnosis isn’t—and this is a big myth—hypnosis is not sleep. You may even use sleep as
a suggestion in order to put someone into hypnosis, but it's not the kind of sleep that
people normally think about.

At nighttime you go to sleep and you dream, and for the most part of the night we are
unaware. We are totally unconscious. Our mind just sort of disappears somewhere and
then returns back to use again in the morning. Some of us, of course, have a bit more
awareness of our dream time, as well. For the most part there is a clear distinction
between being awake and being asleep.

Hypnosis is a blurring of that distinction. You're not quite the same way you are when
you walk around everyday wide awake, but you're not quite the same as you are when
you're fully asleep, either. In hypnosis, you are totally aware of almost everything around
you.

In fact, in hypnosis you tend to be more aware of things going on around you. You’re
more aware of sounds. You're more aware of where the sound of someone’s voice is; for
example, the hypnotist’s. You're more aware of feelings and sensations.

In hypnosis you tend to be more aware rather than less aware. Whilst yes, it is possible to
have a type of hypnosis where people’s minds disappear and come back after a while,
that is the exception rather than the norm.

Myth 3: Hypnotic Memory Loss


Tied to this idea is the idea of amnesia. People think that when they wake up from
hypnosis, come out of hypnosis, that they’ll have forgotten everything that’s happened.
They’ll know what happened before and they’ll know what happened after, but nothing
of what happened in between.

Again, whilst this can be suggested—in other words, you can take people’s memory of
hypnosis away by suggesting the idea, suggesting that they forget something—the
general rule is that unless you do that, people will tend to remember everything. Hypnosis
is not sleep, and hypnosis will not cause you to forget things unless it’s specifically
suggested to you.

Myth 4: Getting Stuck In Hypnosis


Another concern that people have is related to this idea of sleep. What if you never wake
up? What if you hypnotize someone and you can't get them back out?

This is a very simple myth to bust through right now. It’s impossible to happen. The very
worst thing that will ever happen if you hypnotize someone is that—even if you leave the
room, if you die, or move into another state—that person will merely fall asleep. Then
they will wake up after half an hour, an hour, maybe a couple of hours, having had the
world’s best sleep ever.

Hypnotic Fact: You Must Cancel Old Suggestions


It is important when you bring someone out of hypnosis that you make sure you cancel
all the suggestions. You don’t want to have them being active. For example, if you
suggest to someone that their hands are stuck, or their eyes are stuck and they can't open
them, you want to make sure you remove those suggestions before they come out of
hypnosis. You do this to make sure that those suggestions don’t carry on for the rest of
their life. That is something that you have to pay attention to.

Troubleshooting Tip: What If They Won’t Wake Up?


As to whether or not someone will come out of hypnosis, that will always happen.
Sometimes you'll have to work a little bit harder. You see, sometimes people enjoy the
hypnotic trance so much that they don’t want to come back. They're enjoying it so much
that when you say, “Come back,” they’ll say, “Well, I want to stay here a little bit
longer.”

As a hypnotist, if you know that, it's not a big deal. You can either leave them there to
enjoy the trance for a little bit longer, or you can become more insistent that they come
back. Either way, there is really no danger that people get stuck in hypnosis.

To recap, hypnosis is not mind control. You cannot force people to do things against their
will, or their ethics. You can, however, help them to do things that they do want to do or
have difficulty getting through; for example, changing a habit, et cetera.

Hypnosis is not sleep. People will remember everything that’s happened and they will be
fully aware during the hypnotic process. Hypnosis is also not for forgetting. In other
words, when they come out of hypnosis people will tend to remember everything that’s
happened inside. Hypnosis is not sleep, and people will not forget what's happened there.

There is no danger that people will get stuck in hypnosis, either. People will just fall
asleep naturally and then emerge from a normal, natural sleep, feeling refreshed. If you're
more insistent and insist they come back, generally then, they will do this.

Myth 5: Revealing Dark Secrets


The final myth that I want to address is the idea about people telling you their secrets.
People have a feeling that when they get hypnotized they're vulnerable, that they’ll start
opening themselves up and exposing things that they're not ready to expose.

Whilst hypnosis can be used in order to open doors that are normally kept locked, it is
usually done in a way to help people overcome difficulties and problems about
themselves. In other words, it's done with their consent. It's done with their desire.

Whilst they will not be revealing their deepest darkest secrets to you in hypnosis, what
you can use hypnosis for is this idea of hypnotic rapport. You can create such an intense
connection with another person under hypnosis that they’ll feel like they want to share
ideas with you which they wouldn’t share with other people. That is absolutely possible.

Remember again, at this point it's a choice. They feel like they're connected. They feel
like telling you, so they'll tell you. In hypnosis, people can still keep their secrets; unless,
of course, they really decide that they want to tell you.

So What is Hypnosis Really?


Track 4 7:56

Let's turn our attention now to the psychological principles behind hypnosis. I'd like for
you to really understand what hypnosis is, that it's not a magical state. It's not a magical
power that comes out of your eyes that you're born with.

Hypnosis is a psychological process. That means if you go through the right steps, if the
mind goes through the right set of experiences, then every single human being will go
into hypnosis.

Some people will be easier to hypnotize than others. It has nothing to do with willpower,
or anything like that. It has only got to do with their ability to go through the very
processes, the very steps, and recreate the conditions that we’re about to look at.

Definition Of Hypnosis
Let's look at what hypnosis is, first of all, in a definition. I would define hypnosis as a
naturally and highly focused state, in which the conscious mind does not interfere with an
unconscious process.

Let me repeat that:

It’s a natural and highly focused state, in which the conscious mind, or one part of the
mind, does not interfere with another part of the mind.

12

Everyday Hypnosis
The reason that I define it in this way is because hypnosis is actually a very natural
phenomenon. People go into trances every single day without knowing about it. In fact,
it's a very healthy thing to do. That’s because in these natural mini-trances you will
naturally allow your mind to absorb information, or process stuff, that’s been going
through your mind at that point.

Maybe you have had the experience of kind of staring off into space, thinking of nothing
in particular. When someone asks you, “What are you thinking about?” you literally have
to say, “Nothing.” You have no recollection of what you're thinking about. That was a
kind of mini-trance experience.

At other times you can be so deeply aware of, or absorbed in, your thoughts. Perhaps
you're thinking about a future project or working on problem. Perhaps you're just
engaged in a daydream, and you're so fixated on the ideas that are running through your
mind that you completely neglect the environment around you. Someone might walk into
the room, or out of the room, and perhaps start talking to you. You simply don’t notice
because you're so absorbed in your own thoughts. That is another example of a hypnotic
event.

Perhaps you’ve read a book and been so absorbed by the character that you're reading
that time, maybe hours, fly by; and it feels like minutes. The same is true of films that
you’ve watched. Certainly you’ve had the experience of watching a film—or reading a
book or hearing a story—that has moved you so much that you begin to have an
emotional experience.

Just think about this. How can you have an emotional experience when just reading lines
of text in a book, or watching a flittering light on a screen? Your mind has to suspend
normal reality, enter the reality of the story in the book or the film, and then have an
emotional reaction to that as though it were real on some level. Otherwise it would be
meaningless to you. These are natural examples of hypnosis happening on every single
day.

Hypnosis is a very natural phenomenon. I want you to understand this because inducing
trance is a lot easier when you understand that people will slip in and out of these things
totally naturally, every single day.

Also, on the next CD on “Covert Transfers” I will show you how to use this natural
phenomenon, in order to induce hypnosis in people in a way that they will never even
know hypnosis has occurred. Hypnosis is a totally natural state. It happens all the time.

Focus Their Attention


The next thing you have to look out for is focus, concentration, awareness, attention.
These are the tools that a hypnotist works with. If you don’t have someone’s attention, if
you don’t have their focus or their awareness, it's very difficult to induce a trance in
someone. It can be done, but it's a highly sophisticated technique and there are a lot of
problems with it. In 99.99% of the time, if you want to induce a trance you need their
attention. You need their attention focused on something, an idea or a thought.

Monoideism
One of the first hypnotists was a man called James Braid, who elevated hypnosis outside
of the esoteric, or the occult or the field of magic, and brought it into the field of science.
He called it monoideism. Monoideism stands for a single thought or idea dominating the
thinking process. That tends to create hypnosis.

Think about it. All the examples I gave you tend to be examples where your attention was
focused completely on one thought or an idea. Even when hypnosis isn’t specifically
focused, for example when you're blankly staring off into space, the attention is still
gathered in one point. You're not jumping around from one topic to the other, et cetera.

When you want to induce a trance with someone, the key first step you're always trying
to achieve is to collect all of their attention and focus it as closely as possible on either an
idea, or a point, or something. You need to collect all their attention.

Bipass The Critical Factor


The next thing is the idea of interference. Think of parts of the conscious mind running
interference, like listening to a radio with static. Every day we have all these random
thoughts firing across from left, right, and center, which can kind of distract us a little bit.

In an everyday sense of the word, we can still carry on. Life, internally speaking, is fine.
In hypnosis, that mental static can interfere with the process. When you create a
suggestion, you can have static shooting across which will negate the effect of that
suggestion.

One of the key things we need to do is to shut down a specific part of the mind called the
critical factor, the critical mind. It's that part of the mind that rejects information, that
says, “That’s not right. That’s not true. That’s impossible.” All these ideas have to be put
on hold for a moment.

Let's use the example again of watching a film. When you watch a film, you know
somewhere in the back of your mind that it's not real. Whilst you’re watching the film
you get absorbed into it. You suspend your judgment.

You're not constantly sitting there going, “That’s not possible. That’s not possible. That
will never happen.” If you do that, that’s the kind of film you don’t enjoy. That’s because

in the very act of saying, “That’s impossible. I don’t like that. That doesn’t ring true. That
would never happen,” if you're doing that during a film, then you’ve broken the hypnotic
element of it and you don’t enjoy the film.

Every single film that you’ve enjoyed is a film where you’ve just let yourself run away
with the experience of it, where you haven’t analyzed whether or not it's possible. If it's a
big fantasy film, or a science fiction film, you don’t think to yourself, “That’s not
possible. It would never happen.” You just enjoy the experience of it, because that critical
factor part of your mind has been put on hold for a brief moment in time, which allows
you to experience a different reality for a while. That is the key for hypnosis.

They 4 Keys To Hypnosis


The keys to hypnosis are very simple.

1. We want to evoke a natural stage.


2. We're going to use their focus or their concentration to begin to do this.
3. We need to put to sleep, we need to quiet down things that inhibit things, in other
words the critical factor.
4. We want to somehow stimulate the unconscious mind to take part in the hypnotic
process, to actually make things come true as you suggest them.

I want you to remember these keys in the back of your mind as we are going through this
program. That’s because I'm going to teach you how to use those keys in a very specific
way, in order to induce a trance in almost any person, any time, anywhere. Before we do
that, however, let's take a quick look at safety in hypnosis, so that you use your hypnotic
skills in a safe way and as a force for good with people.

Important: The Hypnotic Safety Protocols


Track 5 6:58

Let’s turn to safety in hypnosis. The good news is that hypnosis is, generally speaking, a
very safe state. In other words, you can't really do things wrong in hypnosis. Unless, of
course, you would be doing it wrong out of hypnosis, as well.

Safety Protocol 1: Use Common Sense!


The first thing I want to say is, “Use your common sense.” The kind of things that you
say to people in a normal, everyday world; if they're going to be positive in that
environment, they’ll be positive in hypnosis as well. If you say to someone, “You're
looking great. You’re a fantastic person. I like you as a human being,” as a suggestion,
the impact of that is even better than when you say it in a normal conversational context.

However, the reverse is also true. If you tell someone that they're no good, that they are a
bad person, that you dislike them, that they smell or are stupid or incapable of anything,

15

just as much as this kind of curse can do damage to someone in a normal conversation, in
hypnosis the kind of negative hypnosis that comes out of that can be even worse.

As a rule of thumb, use your common sense. Make sure that the experiences that you give
people are pleasant experiences. Make them imagine pleasant scenes, not an unpleasant
one. Tell them pleasant things, not unpleasant things. Remind them about the positive
side of themselves, not the negative side of themselves.

In doing so, you're orienting their mind and making it focus on positive things. In that
way hypnosis becomes a force for good, not a force for something bad. As long as you're
keeping your wits about you and you're keeping things relatively positive, there is really
not much that can go wrong.

There are a couple of important things or situations to avoid in hypnosis, to make sure
that it remains a force for good and is a safe, pleasant experience for everyone involved.

Safety Protocol 2: Don’t Hypnotise These People!


The first thing to avoid is a certain type of person, and by that I mean someone who has
got a mental illness, who is clinically depressed, or someone that suffers from epilepsy.
You see, all of these conditions, whilst you can use hypnosis to work with them, require
specialist knowledge. You can accidentally trigger off things in hypnosis that you do not
want to trigger off.

If you are with someone who has got a mental illness, is clinically depressed, in other
words is seeing a psychiatrist over this, or has epilepsy, do not use hypnosis with that
person, just to remain on the safe side. If you do want to use hypnosis with people like
this, then I recommend that you go and get better training. Give yourself full training as a
hypnotherapist and find out how to work with those people. Otherwise, just stay clear of
them and you'll make sure that you avoid all kinds of problems.

Safety Protocol 3: Stay Clear Of Regressions


The second thing to stay clear of is something that actually fascinates a lot of people.
This is known as a hypnotic regression. In hypnosis you have the ability to move
someone back in time and make them mentally younger, so that they are the same as they
were when they were five years old. Their experiences are the same that they had when
they were that age.

If you regress someone back to their fifth birthday, sixth birthday, tenth birthday party
and they have that experience all over again as though they were there right now and it's
all happening around them, they have the mental age of that person. That can be a
charming experience for a lot of people, but what about those people who had a very
unpleasant experience? What about those people who were traumatized at that age?
Perhaps a parent died during the birthday party. Perhaps they were abused and their
abuser was at that party as well?

16

For those people you might trigger off what's called an abreaction; in other words, an
intense, emotional experience which has a traumatic impact. You want to avoid doing
this. The thing is, you're not going to know ahead of time who is safe to work with
regression and who isn’t. As a rule of thumb, just stay clear of them. Again, if you want
to work with regressions, it's not that you can't do it. Just get more training in order to
avoid the possible negative consequences that you can release on doing so.

Important Troubleshooting Tip: How To Handle A Spontaneous


Abreaction
One important thing concerning an abreaction: this intense, negative emotional
experience usually has some kind of trauma attached to it. It’s something that can
sometimes happen, on a very rare occasion, spontaneously in someone as they go into
hypnosis. Just to give you some perspective, in over 15 years of practice it has never
happened to me, not once. I have sought out those experiences on purpose. Yes, that is
part of hypnotherapy, but I have never had it happen to me spontaneously.

Should it ever happen spontaneously, the solution is very simple. Number one you must
keep your cool. Stay calm and in control, because the person is looking to you for
guidance. If you begin to get nervous, if you begin to freak out, that’s going to make
them feel worse. The very first thing you do is you stay calm and in control.

The next thing you do is you make sure you do not touch the person. You do not want to
touch that person because when they're in hypnosis, especially when they're having a
strong emotional experience, if you touch them you might create what's called a
“hypnotic trigger.” If that touch becomes a trigger and then someone else touches them in
the same place later on, it might trigger off the same abreaction again. You do not want
that. You do not want them associating those negative experiences to your touch or to
anything else that’s possible.

Number three is to get them out of that experience as quickly and safely as possible. To
do that is actually quite straightforward. You just tell them, “That experience is fading
right now. Let it recede into the past. It's fading, fading, fading. You're safe here in the
present, right now.”

You’re creating a distinction between the experience that they’ve just triggered by
accident, and being safe in the present moment. You're making one experience, the
negative experience, fade away totally calmly, like nothing has happened and you're
bringing back the present. So those words again, “That experience is fading and you're
coming back to the present moment, right here in this room with me, feeling safe and
secure.”

Sometimes it will take me a little bit of time to make that distinction, at which point just
emphasize, “That experience is fading, fading, fading. It’s moving away, and you're safe

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


17

and secure right now, in the present. Safe and secure right now, in the present, in the
room with me, here and now.”

Do you notice how I'm just using my language to create that distinction, and to
emphasize it until they can follow through my suggestion and allow that experience to
fade away, and they come back safe and secure into the present?

At that point bring them out of hypnosis. No matter what happens, bring them out of
hypnosis. Give them a few moments to reorient, and then if they decide they want to have
an experience again of hypnosis, feel free to rehypnotize them. Chances are that
everything will be fine. If they decide they don’t want to be rehypnotized, then just leave
them.

If you follow these simple guidelines, then all the hypnotic experiences you will have
will be completely safe, and will be experienced as a tremendous force for good by all the
people that you work with.

The Master Keys To Hypnosis


Track 6 9:38

Now you're ready to begin hypnotizing people. We looked in the previous tracks as to
what hypnosis was and how it works and the psychological principles that drive it. I'd
like to give you a simple formula, which will allow you to encapsulate everything you’ve
learned so far, and understand pretty much every single hypnotic process that you'll ever
go through.

The Golden Rule For Hypnosis Masters: The ABS Formula


This is one of the so-called master keys to hypnosis. If you understand this formula,
which I will call ABS, you will understand all the hypnotic techniques you'll ever come
across. ABS is an acronym.

A stands for Attention,


B stands for Bypass the critical factor, and
S stands for Stimulate the unconscious mind.

If you think back to our definition of hypnosis being a natural and highly focused state of
awareness, where the conscious mind does not interfere with an unconscious process, you
begin to understand how ABS kind of condenses all that knowledge into a very simple
formula.

The very first thing you must always do in hypnosis is you must get someone’s attention.
The first step is you always want to get their attention riveted onto something. Get their
concentration. The next step is to bypass the critical factor, to bypass the conscious mind,

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


18

or at least that part of the conscious mind that analyzes, criticizes, and rejects
information. We’ll look again at techniques using that in a moment.

Finally, once they are in a kind of trance, there is no point having them there unless you
can do something with it. This is where you want to stimulate the unconscious mind. I'm
going to show you some simple tools for stimulating the unconscious mind so that you
can actually have a hypnotic effect on people very, very quickly.

ABS is the formula that every single hypnotic process must go through. You need to have
their attention. You need to bypass the critical factor, this interference mechanism, and
you will stimulate their unconscious mind using the various techniques that we will look
at.

Hypnosis Master Key 1: Relaxation


Another master key for hypnosis is the concept of relaxation. Relaxation is really a
doorway into hypnosis, into trance. It doesn’t mean to say that you can't do hypnosis
without relaxation, because you can. You can absolutely get someone to go into hypnotic
trance without ever mentioning the word relaxation.

However, when you use relaxation as a doorway into hypnosis, it's a lot easier on the
person and actually a lot easier on yourself as the hypnotist, as well. It makes for a very
pleasant experience. You want to use relaxation as one of the primary tools for getting
people into hypnosis.

Hypnosis Master Key 2: Imagination


The next master key is the imagination. We are usually brought up thinking about the
imagination as something silly, something to pay no attention to. If a child has a
nightmare and comes to their parents what do they say? “Oh, it was just your
imagination, honey. Don’t worry about it. There are no monsters under your bed.”

With these kinds of ideas, we develop at least intellectual understanding of the


imagination as it isn’t powerful, that the imagination isn’t real, and we should pay no
attention to it.

However, there is a general rule that where the imagination and the will conflict, the
imagination always will win.

Here's an example. Let's imagine that you have some lovely chocolate cake in the fridge.
All day you're thinking about that cake. You're thinking, “I shouldn’t eat that cake. I
shouldn’t have that cake.” You're making pictures inside of your mind of wanting to eat
that cake, of how delicious it looks, of the way it smells, the way it’s glistening. You're
imagining eating it and the pleasure you'll get from it.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


19

All the time you're telling yourself you mustn’t do it. You must wait, or you’ll just have a
little bit, or whatever. At some point you might even go to the fridge and open the door
and check out what it looks like. Then you close the fridge and come back and do it all
over and over again, until eventually you know you're going to be eating that cake.

The reason the imagination wins is because it kind of wormed its way into the
unconscious mind; as part of a language of how the unconscious mind thinks and
communicates and perceives the world. In fact, there is an old saying in hypnosis that the
unconscious mind cannot distinguish between something that’s imagined and something
that’s real. As a very rough rule that is quite accurate. There are, of course, limits—like in
every other rule—that make it less accurate in total scientific rarity.

Think of it in that way, that where the will and the imagination conflict, the imagination
will tend to win. Think that if you imagine something, your unconscious mind cannot tell
the difference between what you're imagining and what is real, unless you do a couple of
other steps to tell it what's real and what's imagined. We’re going to use that power
within the hypnosis session in order to make your suggestions more real to people. You
may have actually heard this being done when you’ve watched a hypnotist maybe doing a
stage show, or you listened to hypnosis tape.

For example, let's say you want to have someone’s arm become stiff and rigid. Not very
practical in terms of medicine or improving someone’s life, but it's an interesting
demonstration. To do that you might want to suggest that “the arm is getting stiffer,
harder and harder, stiffer and stiffer.”

That’s great, using normal language.

Then to make things even more compelling, more real to the unconscious, you can say
something like, “Imagine that arm is a steel bar. It's an iron bar, an iron bar that won't
bend. It's steel and strong like an iron bar. Feel it becoming stronger like an iron bar.”

At that point the mental image of an iron bar and all the associations that we have to do
with that iron bar get triggered off in your mind and your unconscious mind thinks, “Oh,
I'll make that arm like an iron bar.” It begins to understand the metaphorical and
symbolic understandings.

If you imagine another context, for example walking down a dark alley, it begins to speed
up your heart rate. Your unconscious mind thinks at some level that you're actually doing
it and you might be in danger. You're going to use these things in order to augment the
power of the suggestion that you're going to give to people.

Hypnosis Master Key 3: Repetition


The next master key in hypnosis is repetition. The unconscious mind sometimes needs
time to absorb an idea, or to activate it. You need to give it a little bit of time to do what it

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


20

does. In the meantime, you may want to repeat the suggestions several times to begin to
enforce it.

There are all kinds of reasons why you're going to do this which we won't get into at the
moment. Just think of it in terms of creating little layers. Each suggestion is like taking
out a pencil, or a little stick of wood, and adding one on top of the other.

The first stick of wood may or may not be strong enough to take the weight of what you
wanted to do. The second stick of wood again may or may not be able to do it. When you
have three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten little sticks of wood all tied together, it
starts getting stronger and stronger and stronger.

It's a very rough rule of thumb, but by the time you’ve suggested something about 12 or
15 times it really begins to worm its way inside their mind, click the right button to
activate something. Use repetition. Use repetition to repeat ideas. Use repetition in these
sessions.

You can formulate the suggestions in slightly different ways each time, or in exactly the
same way. It doesn’t really matter so much, but you want to throw it back over and over
and over again to really begin to dominate someone’s thinking, so that the unconscious
mind latches on to that idea and makes that idea real.

Hypnosis Master Key 4: Positive Focus


The last master key in hypnosis that I want to talk about right now is positive focus. As a
rule, you want your suggestions to be about positive things. Not just about personal life
experiences, but also to be focused on what you want to have happen, rather than not.

For example you don’t want to be saying to people, “Don’t get stressed.” If they’re
stressed, move away. It's better to focus them on the positive.

For example, “Feel the relaxation. As the stress releases, feel the relaxation, the comfort,
the warmth, and the good feelings.”

Why?

Because at some level, the unconscious mind will tend to activate the whole phrase, and
rather than having to make the extra step of reversing a negative, you can just take the
whole phrase and run with it.

If I tell you, for example, to “not think of a red cat, don’t think of a red cat sitting in a red
tree, don’t think of the red cat sitting in the red tree speaking to you right now.”

Of course, in order to not think of the red cat, you’ve got to think of the red cat first in
order to negate it. There is a double step, two sequences you go through before you can
actually come up with the outcome.

21

With hypnosis, to make life easy on the subject just tell them exactly what you want them
to do, rather than what you don’t want them to do. Whilst it is possible to give a negative
suggestion and have it work, sticking to this general rule of thumb will make your life
much easier and will make sure you get much better successes, whilst avoiding some of
the problems that might happen if you choose a different style of suggestion.

With these four master keys—the relaxation key, the imagination key, the repetition key,
and the positive focus—you have the makings of your first induction. It's going to be
some very elegant stuff that you’ve built into this. On the next track I'm going to run you
through the whole process that will allow you to start inducing trances in your friends,
your colleagues, your family, and random strangers.

Your Step By Step Guide To Hypnotising Your First Person


Track 7 10:19

Now that you have all the tools, how do you use them? You have the ingredients, but
what's the recipe for hypnosis?

I'm going to boil down pretty much every single hypnotic induction that can possibly
exist into four simple steps.

These four simple steps are things that you can actually use as an induction by
themselves, and I'll show you how in a moment. We can work that into the quick
inductions at the end of this program, and you'll understand that they all follow the exact
same four steps in the exact same sequence.

The 4 Steps Of Every Hypnotic Process


The four steps are very simple.

1. Number one is induce trance.


2. Number two is deepen the trance.
3. Number three, stimulate the unconscious mind and make your suggestions.
4. Number four, bring them back out.

It's as simple as that.

The Ten Second Hypnotist


If you're going to take that idea, we can actually turn that into a very simple induction
which I call “The Ten Second Hypnotist.” I call it “The Ten Second Hypnotist” because,
technically speaking, you can induce a trance in someone in about ten to fifteen seconds
when you do this well.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


22

Here is “The Ten Second Hypnotist” in action.

Step 1: Close Your Eyes


First of all, you just ask them to close their eyes and go into a trance.

Step 2: Go Deeper
The next thing you do is you get them to associate something that you do, for example a
touch on the shoulder, to go in deeper. “Every time I touch you on the shoulder, you'll go
deeper and deeper and deeper.”

Step 3: Stimulate The Unconscious


The third thing that you do is begin to talk directly to the unconscious mind. At this point
in your training as a hypnotist, you can just say things directly which are positive like,
“You can enjoy this trance. You can enjoy this relaxation. You become a better and
healthier person as a result of being in hypnosis.”

Use some very simple, direct suggestions.

Step 4: End The Session


The fourth part is to bring them back out of hypnosis. Give them the process to do this.
For example, “In a moment I'm going to count from one to three. At the count of three
you'll open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply fantastic.”

That’s it. That’s the whole induction in a nutshell. Now don’t worry. I'm going to take
you through those steps step-by-step in a moment’s time, so you can understand each one
of them and actually use it.

Set Yourself Up For success With The Hypnotic Preframe


Before going through it step-by-step though, I want to talk about something very
important on how to use this as an actual induction. This is called a preframe. This is how
you set up the induction to give it its best chances of succeeding.

The preframe for this induction is to ask someone, or to tell someone, to just pretend to
go into hypnosis. Just make do, just make believe as though they go into hypnosis and
just how to activate the characteristics. Stand how they think a hypnotized person would
stand or sit, breathe the way they think a hypnotized person would breathe, think the way
they think a hypnotized person would think, those sorts of things. In other words, allow
them to just get carried away with the process.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


23

Now the secret reason for getting this pretend frame around this whole thing is because
the unconscious mind actually doesn’t know how to pretend. If you pretend something
for long enough, you will end up forgetting that you're pretending and just tend to
activate it, make it real.

This is particularly true of hypnosis. People will start off pretending it, but unless they
keep reminding themselves that they're just pretending it—in other words, they are just
going along with your instructions—then they're actually going to go into hypnosis.
That’s because they’ll forget that they're pretending and end up having the experience
instead, particularly when it's as novel as the experience of hypnosis is. So it's a very
powerful frame to set around things, and can get you very quick results.

Looking at those steps again, we’re going to look at them step-by-step and introduce
them. You may just want to practice this out loud in the air, maybe with a pillow out in
front of you that pretends that it is a person. You may just want to grab someone, if
you're adventurous, and do it right along with me as you go through this following
process.

Step 1 In Detail: Close Your Eyes


Step one is very simple. Just look at them and say, “Close your eyes and go into
hypnosis.” It's as simple as that. “Close your eyes and go into hypnosis.”

It's important that you tie all this together, the closing of the eyes and going into
hypnosis, because if they get tied together inside the mind then they’ll do it. You don’t
need to add any frills. Just say, “Close your eyes and go into hypnosis.” That is really
easy.

Step 2 In Detail: Go Deeper


As soon as you’ve done that, go on to step two. Step two is very simple.

“Every time I…” Then here mention something that you can do that they can experience.

You can mention something that they can hear or something that they can feel. Don’t
mention something that they can see, because with their eyes closed they probably won't
be seeing it.

You get an activity that they can perceive, something that they can feel or hear, and you
attach to that the idea that they go deeper into hypnosis. “Every time that I pick up your
hand and drop it like so, you'll go deeper and deeper and deeper.” Every time you say
the word deeper you just do the activity.

A simple way for me to demonstrate this here is to say something like, “Every time you
hear me say the word ‘deeper’ you're going to go deeper and deeper and deeper!”

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


24

You see, now I'm actually using the word that you're hearing as a deepening mechanism
at the same time. It’s kind of like combining both activities into one thing, at the same
time.

Step 3 In Detail: Stimulate The Unconscious


Step three is the general suggestion phase. At this point just let your imagination run wild
with the positive things you can say to people. In fact, if anyone has ever said anything
positive to you, something that has a positive impact on you, “You're smart. You're
clever. You can go for it,” these are the kinds of things you can say at this point.

Another thing that you can say at this point, for example, is just to stimulate their
imagination by describing a beautiful scene. The typical way to do this is just to grab a
scene from nature, a lakeside scene, or a walk through the forest, a mountain top, that
kind of thing. Give people the experience of doing that just by describing the scene, so
that they can mentally take a relaxation break with you.

The important thing is if you're going to do that, check with the person before you begin
the hypnosis. Ask whether or not the scene that you have in mind, for example the
woodland scene, is actually something that they might enjoy, something that they find
interesting. The reason for that is because very occasionally, someone has a negative
reaction to it. For example, if you got lost as a child in the woods, you might have had
built up experiences of fear which are around forests. Then a relaxing forest walk will be
anything but relaxing for you.

Remember, up to this point you're still going to be using your four master keys as much
as you can during the induction. In other words, you're going to focus on the idea of
relaxation. You're going to stimulate the imagination by describing vivid imagination
pictures. You're going to repeat the suggestions over and over again, and you're going to
keep them positive, both in the sense that they are pleasant experiences and in a sense
that your language is telling them what is, and not what is not.

Example of Steps 1-3


For example, take the whole first three steps of the sequence.

“Close your eyes and go into hypnosis, and as you feel my touch on your shoulder you
can go deeper, and relax deeper, and feel the comfort of relaxation going deeper, and
deeper, and deeper still. Of course as you are relaxing so comfortably I would like you to
imagine a beautiful scene out in the woods.

“The trees are around you and make you feel so relaxed. You can sense that beautiful
scent that comes off those trees. As you smell that you can relax even more fully. When
you relax and look at those trees, you might find a particularly comfortable spot in that
woodland where you can just relax even more.

Step 4 In Detail: End The Session


“Take a few moments and bring yourself back. Count from one to three. You'll open your
eyes refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply fantastic. One, coming out slowly. Two, three. Open
your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply fantastic.”

So here is a quick demonstration of “The Ten Second Hypnotist” in action. Notice that
I've already added the final steps that follow, which are to bring them back out of trance.
It's called emergence; bringing them out of hypnosis.

To do that, just add a simple process. “I'm going to count from one to three or one to
five,” or whatever. Then something is going to happen at the end of that process. “At a
count of three you'll open your eyes. You'll feel refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply
fantastic.”

Remember, if you’ve made a particular suggestion—for example, that they can't open
their eyes or that they can't lift an arm—make sure that you specifically cancel each and
every one of the suggestions that you’ve given that you don’t want carried on outside of
hypnosis, as well. “You can open your eyes. Your arm feels normal. Every part of your
awareness is back to normal again.”

That’s just kind of a general way, or safety statement, of cancelling the suggestions that
you don’t want to remain active.

That’s “The Ten Second Hypnotist.” By itself it's a great induction. If you want to add
even more power to it, just really focus on the relaxation element. Then at the point
where you would normally do the deepener—in other words, “Every time you feel this
you go deeper, deeper, and deeper”—at that point insert the point where you talk about
different parts of the body; the head, the breathing the shoulders, the arms, the trunk, the
legs, et cetera. Bring their awareness to it and tell them that it's going to relax it more and
more and more—“So that every time you feel a touch on your shoulder, your arm is
going to relax deeper, and deeper; relaxing, relaxing deeper, and deeper,”—that kind of
language.

On the next track you'll hear a whole version of this induction all the way through, from
start to finish. I'm going to emphasize this particular theme of relaxation. You'll notice
I'm doing two things. On the one side I'll be doing just a “Ten Second Hypnotist,” which
could just take ten seconds as you just heard a moment ago.

On the other side, I'm going to really emphasize the idea of relaxation. By focusing on
different body parts and relaxing them, I take people into a very relaxed state of hypnosis.
This way you get both types of inductions mixed together into one single one, to have a
nice template that you can follow.

Demonstration Of The Relaxation Induction


Part 8 8:26

26

Go ahead and close your eyes and go into hypnosis. Every time you hear me say the word
“deeper” I want you to go deeper and deeper and deeper; relaxed into a most
comfortable state of hypnotic awareness.

Now pay attention to the top of your head and go deeper and deeper; relaxed. Allow your
head to relax and you'll go deeper into hypnosis, because as you pay attention to the
muscles around the eyes you can go deeper, and relax those muscles. You feel more and
more comfortable, more and more relaxed, more and more at ease. Go deeper and
deeper into hypnosis as you continue to listen to my voice and relax.

Now pay attention to your shoulders and allow your shoulders to relax. Your shoulders
can relax comfortably as you go deeper and deeper into hypnosis. The deeper you go into
hypnosis, the more your shoulders relax. The more your shoulders relax, the deeper you
go into hypnosis. You can continue listening to the sound of my voice as you relax and go
deeper all the time.

Pay attention to your left arm, and relax the muscles of your left arm. As the muscles of
your left arm relax, just go deeper and deeper into hypnosis. Allow yourself to drift
deeply and comfortably into hypnosis.

Now pay attention to your right arm. Allow your right arm to relax you more and more
deeply into hypnosis; your right arm relaxing, relaxing, relaxing, warm and comfortable.
Pay attention to your breathing, and notice how your breathing is slowing down. It can
take you deeper into hypnosis, as you just slow down and relax more and more deeply
into hypnosis.

Now pay attention to your chest and your stomach area. Allow your chest and your
stomach area to just relax more and more comfortably, more and more deeply, more and
more completely. As you go deeper and deeper and deeper into hypnosis, the sound of my
voice will take you deeper and deeper into hypnosis.

Now pay attention to your left leg. Allow your left leg to relax, comfortably taking you
deeper and deeper still into a deep, hypnotic stage. Pay attention to all the sensations of
relaxation and going deeper. Now pay attention to your right leg, and let your right leg
relax deeply and completely, taking your mind deeper and deeper into the most
comfortable, wonderful sense of hypnotic relaxation.

Whilst you're relaxing this deeply, perhaps your unconscious mind can remind you of a
pleasant scene, some pleasant place you’ve been to where you feel safe and comfortable,
because as you remember that safe and comfortable place, your unconscious mind is
learning to make you feel safe and comfortable more and more, throughout your life in
more situations. As the days and the weeks and the months go by, you feel more
comfortable as a person, more safe in your life, more secure in yourself, and you get to
enjoy life, really enjoy life, more and more fully.

Now, in a moment it will be time for you to come back outside into your regular everyday
state of awareness. In a moment I'm going to count from one to three. At the count of
three you'll open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply fantastic; feeling as
though you’ve had a refreshing, healthy night’s sleep; feeling as though all the good
things in your life have suddenly activated all in one go.

As I count to three you'll come up, and at the count of three you'll open your eyes, feeling
refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply fantastic.

So, ready to do that now. One, coming up slowly. Two, ready to come back. Three, open
your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; simply fantastic.

Congratulations on completing your first, fully-fledged, hypnotic experience.

Ten Quirky, Quick, Quality Inductions


Track 9 10:22

Welcome back again. Before we finish up on this CD I would like to run you through ten
quick and easy inductions that basically follow the same kind of principles you've been
learning about. Remember the key, the heart of all hypnosis is the formula ABS:
Attention, Bypass the critical factor, Stimulate the unconscious mind. How can you use
this to create further inductions that really expand into infinity?

Induction 1: Blank Mind


The first induction is very simple. The instructions are, “Close your eyes. Blank out your
mind.”

Then you're going to wait for a little while and you're going to come back and you're
going to test whether or not they're in hypnosis by saying something like, “Your eyes are
locked tightly shut. You cannot open your eyes. Try. Try and open your eyes, and notice
how you’ll fail.”

If at that point you see their eyebrows going up and they're trying, don’t let them try for
too long. Just give them a few seconds to test it and then tell them to relax again and just
carry on with your normal hypnotic procedure as before.

That’s using the ABS formula very quickly, because closing your eyes and blanking their
mind, that’s the bit where you get their attention with the closing of their eyes. Blanking
their mind is the bit where you're basically saying, “Allow the critical factor to go away.”
With a blank mind you're not thinking about analyzing stuff. You’re not thinking about
the stuff that’s going on. It's one of the little secrets, or little twists, behind that induction.

Induction 2: The Crystal Ball Induction


Another induction is very nice, particularly for the esoteric or the new age hippies, those
kinds of people. I call it the Crystal Ball Induction. For this, just get a little crystal ball or
a shiny marble. You're going to hold it up a little bit above eye level so they have to look
up in order to see the shiny marble. It helps if there is a reflecting light that shines off of
it, so that they can really focus their attention on that reflection.

Get them to focus their attention on the marble and tell them that their eye is going to get
sleepy, heavy and tired, more and more sleepy, more and more heavy. This is like the
classic hypnotic induction that everyone thinks about. When their eyes start getting really
tired, just tell them to close their eyes and go into trance.

At that point just carry on exactly the same way as “The Ten Second Hypnotist.” If you
like, you can even suggest that their eyes are getting heavy or locking down tight. They
can't open their eyes. Then test that. It’s up to you which way you go.

Remember, if you are going to test their eyes—in other words, you suggest that their eyes
are locked tight, glued shut tightly, they can't open their eyes, try to open them up, et
cetera—make sure that you remove the suggestion again afterwards. You can remove it
again immediately when it's over, and before you awaken them make sure that you say
that everything is back to normal. Specifically mention the eyes being back to normal and
that they’ll be able to open them. They’ll be back to normal in every way.

The next set of inductions is basically variations on the Crystal Ball Induction. There are
five of these that I want to talk you through. They may look different, but the structure is
exactly the same way. They're always going to be following the ABS formula. A, Absorb
their attention; B, Bypass their critical mind by doing this; and S, Stimulate the
unconscious mind. Together with the four steps of “The Ten Second Hypnotist,” you can
really turn this into marvelous and very entertaining inductions.

Induction 3: The Hypno Disk


The first induction is the Hypno Disk Induction. Instead of using a crystal ball, you use a
device called a hypno disk, which one of those hypnotic spirals you’ve seen. The way
disks can be used is just by looking at the disk itself. It can help people to kind of lose
themselves in the tunnel-like qualities.

You may even choose to inter-rotate it gently, and that rotation effect has a slight sort of
mind-bending effect as the optical illusion takes hold. Either way, you're again going to
suggest that their eyes are getting sleepy, heavy and tired; that they're going into trance,
and carry on as before.

Induction 4: The Flashlight Induction


Instead of using the hypno disk, you can use a more modern method by using something
like a flashlight or a torch and using that light to shine into the eyes. Remember that if

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


29

you do this, don’t shine the light directly into the eyes because it would be quite
uncomfortable.

At least if you're going to shine it directly into the eyes, make sure that the light bulb
wattage is very low so it doesn’t hurt the eyes. The best thing to do, though, is to maybe
shine the light just above the eyes. That way, when they look into it they're not looking
directly into the glare of the torch or the flashlight, they're just looking at the light itself.

Induction 5: The Two Finger Focus


Another method that you can use for focusing their attention is simply your fingers. The
good thing about your fingers is you'll be carrying them around wherever you go. You
can do this induction wherever you go.

The key again here is to keep your fingers about three or four inches away from their face
and about an inch or two above the eye level. They have to really look up to see your
fingers, causing a little bit of eye strain. Then you proceed as before. “Your eyes are
getting heavy, sleepy, and tired,” and then, “Close your eyes,” and carry on as with “The
Ten Second Hypnotist.”

Induction 6: The Spot Induction


One more variation which can be very useful, particularly if you have a specific place
you like to do hypnosis, is to put a little spot on the wall and get them to focus on that.
That saves you from having to hold your fingers up and creating fatigue in your own arm
from holding those up and waiting for them to respond. Remember that all these
inductions are basically the same induction, but you are using different focal points to
kind of pull out different elements of the experience.

Induction 7: The Pocket Watch Induction


The final version is the Pocket Watch Induction. This is the classic only because
everyone expects you to whip out the pocket watch and start swinging it from left to right
and going into trance. Here is an interesting thing. If you are going to use the pocket
watch, do not swing it from left to right. That’s actually more distracting and although
you can induce trance that way, it tends to take away. It makes it a little bit harder to do.

The best way to use a pocket watch is to hold the pocket watch up so that it's hanging
about three or four inches away from the face and about an inch or two above eye level,
so that they're really straining. They have to turn their eyes up to look at it.

Then maybe you want to slightly twirl the pocket watch in the same place. The twirling
effect will allow it to kind of catch the light and glint a little bit. That glint is going to
attract your attention and that is going to help them to focus their attention.

30

Then you make the sleepy eyes suggestion, “Your eyes are getting sleepy, heavy and
tired, sleepy, heavy and tired. That’s right. More and more sleepy, more and more heavy,
more and more tired. Close your eyes.”

From the point of the, “Close your eyes,” you just go right back into “The Ten Second
Hypnotist” and it will work like a charm.

So far we’ve covered about seven inductions. I want to have a few more inductions that
you can run through in order to get the kind of hypnotic effects. The next one is called the
Hypnotic Gaze. This is a wonderful induction. It feeds right into people’s expectation of a
hypnotist, and is a lot of fun to do.

Induction 8: The Hypnotic Gaze Induction


For the Hypnotic Gaze, just as with the Crystal Ball Induction using a little crystal ball to
fixate their attention, now you're going to use your eyes, your hypnotic eyes. There are a
couple of secrets to make this work.

Number one, if you find yourself going into hypnosis rather than them, you may want to
look through their eyes. Or better still, look at the root of their nose, the space between
where their eyes meet. As far as they're concerned, as you look at that spot it still looks as
though you're looking at them, but for you it's a little bit less fatiguing to look there than
directly into someone else’s eyes.

Whilst you're looking directly inside their eyes you're doing the same thing as before.
“Your eyes are getting sleepy, heavy and tired. Close your eyes.” For some reason, the
Hypnotic Gaze actually is more powerful than many of the other focal points because
when people look at us, we feel under emotional pressure as well.

Be careful with this induction. Some people will start getting so nervous that they can't
go into trance. If you see that happening, just switch to a different point of focus.

Inductions 9 & 10: The Pendulum & Other Hypnotic Test Induction
The final induction is actually a whole new type of induction. I call it the Pendulum Test
or the Hypnotic Test Induction. You’ve seen all these suggestibility tests—people locking
their hands together and swaying like a tree, et cetera. You can get a whole bunch of
these for free off the Internet.

The Pendulum Test is particularly good because I'm going to show you how to convert
that test into a genuine hypnotic induction. Basically, the Pendulum Test is you hold it in
the thumb and forefinger and you can swing it around like a pendulum does. Instead of
you holding it as a hypnotist, you get them to hold it as a subject. You tell them to hold it
and look at the pendulum.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


31

Then you suggest to them that the pendulum will start moving forwards and backwards,
forwards and backwards, or round and round and round and round. Paint a visual image
of that pendulum going round and round and round, or forwards and backwards,
whichever direction you choose. Choose one direction and stick to it.

Then when the pendulum starts moving you might suggest something like, “Now you'll
notice something interesting happens. No matter how hard you try and stop the pendulum
going around and around, it's going to keep going round and round and round. You can't
stop it.”

At this point, if they activate on that suggestion, that’s it. Over. The trance is there. Just
tell them to close their eyes, and just carry right on as if they're in deep hypnosis, which
they probably are.

If they can stop it, if you notice that it's slowing down or something like that, then stop
suggesting that they try, and get them to close their eyes and go deeper into hypnosis.
That way you carry on with the hypnosis before they get a chance to fail. Either way,
they succeed.

These are all wonderful inductions. They're exciting. They're interesting. They're
different. They all use the principles you’ve already learned. ABS: Attention, Bypass the
critical factor, Stimulate the unconscious mind.

Together with “The Ten Second Hypnotist,” the four steps of any hypnotic induction, this
gives you a really rich and rounded repertoire of hypnotic techniques in order to put
people into hypnosis and make them feel good. Go ahead and use these and enjoy the
results of your training.

End Of CD
Track 10 1:21

This is the end of CD One. If you like the things you’ve discovered here and would like
to explore the power of hypnosis more deeply, then come and have a look at my home
study course called “The Secrets of Hypnosis Revealed.” You'll find all the details on my
Web site:

www.SecretsOfHypnosisRevealed.com
It's all one word.

On the next CD, you'll discover how to take the foundation you’ve just acquired and
adapt it for covert hypnosis; how to use the power of hypnosis in your everyday
conversation without anyone detecting what you're doing. I look forward to seeing you
on that CD, where you'll find even more “Street Hypnosis Exposed.”

Street Hypnosis Exposed


CD 2 – Covert Hypnosis

Introduction to CD2
Track 1 1:49

Welcome to “Street Hypnosis Exposed.” In this second CD, entitled “Covert Hypnosis,
How to Use the Power of Hypnosis in Your Everyday Conversations,” I want to reveal
my little-known method of covert hypnosis; hypnosis that sounds so natural that nobody
will know you're doing it.

During the course of the next hour you're going to learn the difference between covert
and overt hypnosis; the secret language of covert hypnosis where I’ll teach you some
master keys to use language so subtly that no one will know that you're doing it. You’re
going to discover the hypnotic tonalities that will swoon people into trances and how to
adapt the principles like imagination, so that you can fit it into everyday conversations.

Then we’ll go into the actual hypnotic content. The Hypnotic Gaze induction is going to
be adapted in a way that you can use it in any conversation, any time, any place,
anywhere. Then I'll show you the Hypnotic Blitz, a way of overloading people’s minds
with so much positive hypnotic force that their lives will just improve every time they're
around you.

Finally, we’re going to round off the session by looking at how to use hypnotic influence
in everyday conversations. As soon as you're ready to do that just sit back, relax and
enjoy “Street Hypnosis Exposed.”

What Is Covert Hypnosis?


Track 2 2:34

Welcome back again. In this CD we’re going to focus on converting your skills from
regular hypnosis into what is called covert hypnosis. There are basically two branches of
the hypnotic family. There is the overt and the covert.

Overt – v – Covert Hypnosis


Overt basically means that people know that you're doing hypnosis. It's when you do an
obvious induction. You go, “Relax, go deeper, close your eyes, sleepy, heavy,” that sort
of stuff.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


33

A covert induction is one where people don’t really know that it's happening. The beauty
about covert induction is, because they don’t know what's happening, it helps you
overcome some problems that sometimes arrive in hypnosis; like people resisting you, for
example.

Covert hypnosis is a special branch of hypnosis which is, at its highest level, completely
undetectable. You still have all the benefits of regular hypnosis in that people become
more suggestible and more responsive to your ideas. Hence it's a great tool for motivating
people and dissolving problems with people, before they even get stuck in them.

The Key To Using Covert Hypnosis


Even though this is a separate branch of hypnosis, it's different from regular hypnosis.
Everything you’ve learned in the regular hypnosis in the “Hypnosis Uncovered” CD still
counts, because hypnosis is still the foundation of covert hypnosis. Think of covert
hypnosis as a very advanced form of hypnosis, which is more subtle and therefore more
elegant.

Of course, the key to covert hypnosis is how you use your language. In this way you can
slip in and out of covert hypnosis during the course of an everyday normal conversation.
That way you get to slip in your suggestions and increase your influence, your
motivation, and all the other reasons for which you want to use hypnosis in normal
everyday settings.

Covert Hypnosis Is A Force For Good


Please remember that when you're using these techniques, always use hypnosis as a force
for good. The more you do this, the more the world opens up to you wonderful things.

Never abuse your powers because let's face it, there is no real reason to. You can get
everything you want in life, and more, by helping other people get everything they want
out of life and more, too.

This is one of the beauties about the power of hypnosis. It honestly and genuinely helps
people to create a win-win, where everybody is better off than they would have been had
they never interacted. With these thoughts, let us dive into the power of covert hypnosis.

The Secret Language Of Hypnosis


Track 3 7:44

I would like to start things off by looking at the secret language of hypnosis. As
hypnotists, language is our tool. We’re using words and language in order to do all the
things that we need to, in order to make sure the mind enters the hypnotic state.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


34

We’re using language and words to get someone’s attention. We’re using language and
words in order to bypass their critical factor. We're going to use language and words in
order to stimulate their unconscious mind.

There is a great power to language and it's something that you can use in a specific way
in order to induce trances, but outside of their awareness. Everything that you learn here
will, of course, help you and make your regular hypnosis even better. Used on their own,
you can use the secret language of hypnosis in regular conversations and come across as
more charismatic, more interesting, more compelling, and your ideas will be more
influential.

There are two master keys to mastering the secret language of hypnosis. The two master
keys are flow and association. Let's take these two concepts and examine them for a little
bit. The idea of flow is basically that you want ideas to run smoothly through the mind.

Covert Hypnosis Master Key 1: A Smooth Flow


Imagine a stream that’s running down a mountainside and just smoothly glides. As long
as it's gliding smoothly it just creates this beautiful, seamless experience. Of course, if at
any point there is a break—there's a dam, or something is in its way—the stream is going
to start splashing. It's going to start making noise and it’s going to draw your attention.

The part of your mind where attention is drawn is going to include that critical factor.
When ideas are running smoothly and seamlessly it kind of lulls the critical factor to
sleep. If there is a break, if there is something which breaks the idea or flow of ideas,
breaks that kind of state of mind that is being created, at that point the critical factor
snaps back in and starts analyzing all the things that happened immediately before it
came back, just to be sure it hasn’t missed anything. Of course, that is exactly what you
don’t want to have happen.

Special Covert Hypnosis Principle 1: Pseudo Logic


The interesting thing is that as long as you keep your ideas running smoothly, the longer
you do it, the less you need to be logical. We’re going to talk about something called
pseudo logic. A pseudo logic is something that basically sounds logical but isn’t
necessarily logical. The beauty about pseudo logic is that it becomes a nice little stepping
stone between being ready and aware and critically analyzing information; at which point
you need to be more logical to prevent them from deleting their information.

As you become more and more used to this flowing process, you throw in things which
sound like they should be logical, sound reasonable, but if they were to investigate them
might not necessarily be so. Eventually you’ll get to a point where anything you say
sounds reasonable and fair and right, even though there is no necessary, logical
connection. This is very useful in the whole influencing process.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


35

The general rule of thumb as far as hypnotic flow is concerned is that the more the person
is in trance, the less logical you need to be. I'm going to give you the whole vocabulary of
pseudo logic in order to be able to make these connections. Then you can flow from one
idea to the other and lead people into a hypnotic state, and make your ideas seem more
compelling and bring them to life more inside people’s minds.

Covert Hypnosis Master Key 2: The Association Principle


Before we do this though, let's look at the second principle. The principle of association
is the second master key that we’ve been talking about. Association is the language of the
unconscious mind.

The thing about dreams is that many times dreams are symbolic references to
associations that you’ve had in the past. That is why in a dream an item, an event, or a
person can mean so many different things. It sparks off a whole train of associations that
are connected to it.

The power of association is immense. There is an interesting set of psychological studies


called unconscious priming, where basically just by reading random words you can
prepare people to think in certain ways without them knowing it. To give you an
example, a bunch of students walked down a long corridor. At the end of the corridor is
an exam room where they sit down and they read through a bunch of questions, answer
some information about them, and then they leave.

What they don’t know is that when they walk down the corridor and they leave, they get
measured for how long it takes them to walk down the corridor and come back again.
Interestingly, depending on what is written on that test, people will end up walking out
much slower than they walked in, or else they will walk out at pretty much the same
pace. Amazingly, the thing that determined whether they would walk out at a normal
pace or would walk out much slower had everything to do with something that they read.

The Power Of Hidden Messages


The people who walked out slower were influenced through unconscious priming. They
were reading sentences that were loaded through their associations to make them think of
old age. The key is that this was done so subtly that nobody knew what was going on.

For example they would read a bunch of sentences like, “This is my old hat. I prefer to go
to Florida for my weekends. A wrinkled puppy is looking for some food. The gray coat is
hanging on the hanger.”

These sentences don’t sound unusual until you realize that there is a theme that runs
through each and every one of them. All of them have words embedded inside them that
are connected, or in other words are associated, with old age. They're talking about old,
gray, wrinkled, and for Americans, Florida, which is a destination for old age pensioners.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


36

When the mind hears these themes running through it begins to activate these themes.
The more it activates these themes, the stronger they become. The strongest theme going
throughout all those sentences that they’ve read is old age.

All of this is happening at the unconscious level. The interesting thing is when they walk
out. They’ve activated all their associations to old age and their behavior conforms with
old age; and they end up walking more slowly.

Special Covert Hypnosis Principle 2: Hypnotic Themes


It's the power of association, and the way you're going to use this is through something I
call hypnotic themes. There are certain themes, ideas, concepts that you can talk about
which have imbedded in them in their very idea. There are many associations that are
relevant for hypnosis which just by talking about these themes, you begin to activate
small hypnotic experiences. When you do enough of these and put them together, you
end up having a powerful hypnotic induction done purely on the level of language and
the level of associations, or the level of ideas.

The main theme that we’re going to be focusing on here is the hypnotic theme of
relaxation. As we’ve discovered in CD One, relaxation is a great doorway into hypnosis.
It's not the only one, but it's a very powerful one. Other themes that you can use are
themes like focus or attention. You can talk about concentration and about dreams, or
things that have more to do with unconscious activity.

There are many different themes, but for the moment let’s concentrate on the one, the
relaxation; or maybe two, relaxation and focus. By talking about these themes and using
the flow of ideas, you then create an environment of intellectual context as well as an
experience that puts people into very powerful trances very naturally.

Putting The Master Keys Of Covert Hypnosis Into Action


Track 4 7:45

Let's turn our attention to combining the two master keys, flow and association, in a
practical method for using covert trances. The first step in this practical method of
combining the two is to do something called the Four Words of Power.

The Four Words Of Power


The Four Words of Power are perfect for conversational hypnosis or covert hypnosis,
because they don’t sound like much. When you hear them you don’t think much of them.
In fact, you’ve used the Four Words of Power hundreds of thousands of times in your life
without paying any special attention to them whatsoever. That is why they're so powerful,
because they can slip by unnoticed and open the doors into hypnosis; open the doors into
trance without anyone realizing what's happening.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


37

Remember, the secret language of hypnosis is all about being subtle, so that the critical
factor isn’t alerted to start paying attention. The Four Words of Power are particularly
powerful because they do the two things that we want to have. In other words, they
activate the two master keys of flow and association inherently in the way that they work.

The Four Words of Power are the words “As,” “Because,” “And,” and “Means.”

With those four words you can create an unbroken, seamless chain of ideas. You can
flow from one idea to the other so smoothly that people don’t realize you're making
transitions. With those four words you can also link things together; in other words, speak
the language of the unconscious, associating one idea to another.

The Four Words Of Power In Action


Now let's have a look at how you can use the Four Words of Power. Actually you’ve
already done so. When you learned “The Ten Second Hypnotist,” you had imbedded
within that the principles of the Four Words of Power.

Go back and think about this. How do you begin “The Ten Second Hypnotist”? Close
your eyes “and” go into hypnosis. Let me ask you this: Is there really a logical
connection between eyes being closed and being in hypnosis?

The answer is “No!”

You can be in hypnosis as easily with your eyes wide open as with them completely shut.
Shutting their eyes will certainly help people because it cuts out distractions and therefore
helps them to focus. However it's absolutely possible to create hypnosis with eyes wide
open.

When you say, “Close your eyes and go into hypnosis,” it's not logically true but the
connection builds a connection in the mind. So the unconscious mind thinks, “Well, my
eyes are closing. They're now shut. Therefore I must now be in hypnosis.” That is how
the unconscious mind reasons through the language of association.

Later on we deepen the associations in the same way. “Every time you feel X you'll go
deeper.” Again, we’re creating a link, an association between a touch on the shoulder or
the arm dropping or a head rotation or whatever technique you used and the experience of
relaxation, or going deeper into hypnosis. Again, the word every time is a variation on the
Four Words of Power. It does the same thing.

Linguistic Bridges
Essentially what the Four Words of Power are doing is they are what are called a
linguistic bridge. They are a language bridge that goes from one concept to the other and
links them together. What linguistic bridges do are allow you to flow smoothly so every

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


38

time you come to a little river, rather than just stop and swim across you just walk across
the bridge. There is a smoothness of ideas that flow.

The second thing that linguistic bridges do is they connect things so that you associate
things with other things. This is particularly useful because you can start connecting
things that you know are going to happen or that people will agree with, with things that
won't necessarily happen until you suggest them or people won't necessarily agree with
until you present it in this particular way.

When you say, “Close your eyes and go into hypnosis,” or when you say, “Every time
you feel this you will go deeper into hypnosis,” these are all creating a natural flow of
language and connecting ideas which have hypnotic power.

Your First Covert Hypnosis Induction


We have the scene set for our very first conversation or covert induction. How do you do
this?

Very simply. We use the Four Words of Power and we combine it with a hypnotic theme.
I'm going to give you an illustration of this in a moment’s time, in the next track.

Before I do that I want to make a couple of points.

More Words Of Power


First of all, the Four Words of Power that I'm going to teach you aren’t limited to four
words. It's just that we’re using those four words because they're easy to remember and
they're easy to use. Anything that works in a similar way with a similar kind of
conjunction can be useful, although we are going to focus on the words “as” “because”
“and” and “means.” You can use other words that have a similar impact every time; the
more the better. These are all parts of your hypnotic language that you can start to work
out.

The keys are, “Does it help you create linguistic bridges? Does it help you to flow with
language to move from one idea to another and does it help you combine them, to link
one idea with another idea?” Those are the keys for expanding your Four Words of
Power into more words of power.

How To Listen To The Demonstration


The second thing I want you to realize is that the demonstration I'm about to give you is
going to be semi-overt. In other words, because this is a demonstration for you to learn,
I'm not going to use it in terms of the way I would use it in normal, regular conversation,
although you can use this in regular conversation as well.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


39

I'm going to focus on using the Four Words of Power together with a hypnotic theme—
let's choose relaxation—in such a way that it makes it obvious for you how you can use it
yourself. I really encourage you to take this example and start using it. Use it with your
family, with your friends, and colleagues. For them, it will be great because they’ll feel
really relaxed at the end of it, or focused, or whatever hypnotic theme you choose to use.

For you, it will be great because you'll start sounding like a hypnotist. You'll start having
a natural ability to speak in these ways. When you can do that, you can start slipping little
hypnotic themes, together with your Four Words of Power, into any conversation. The
key starting point is becoming familiar with them, being able to use them, and being able
to flow with them.

How To Structure A Covert Hypnosis Induction


The way I'm going to use them is very simple. I'm going to take the hypnotic theme of
relaxation and I'm going to find any way at all of talking about relaxation that allows me
to flow smoothly using my words of power, and keep talking about the theme of
relaxation. I don’t know in advance what I'm going to be saying because I'm going to
make it up as I go along.

The Four Words of Power are going to help me be creative and make up something that
sounds interesting and sounds persuasive, but if you go back and analyze it, really it
doesn’t mean very much at all. It's the experience that it evokes from your unconscious
mind. That’s the important thing. If it sounds like what I'm saying makes sense and it's
totally reasonable, that’s more because your unconscious mind is responding than
because it's a logical statement that I'm making.

Finally, do remember the demonstration I'm about to give you is hypnotic. If you're
driving a car or operating any kind of machine, just stop what you're doing until you can
pay full attention to the demonstration.

Track 5 4:59

I find relaxation an interesting thing, because as you relax it means that relaxation is a
natural part of the way you think and behave, as everyone knows how to relax physically.
It's interesting that people don’t think about how they relax mentally, because when you
relax physically you also will find yourself relaxing mentally.

The opposite is also true. When you relax mentally, many people find their body relaxing
more and more completely without even thinking about it. Just because you think about
relaxation it means you can relax more and more fully.

As you enjoy that relaxation you will continue to relax even more deeply. As you find
relaxation somewhere inside your body, it means that you're beginning to activate a

40

natural phenomenon. Because it's a natural phenomenon, it's easy to build on the
relaxation you're experiencing by just allowing it to continue. As it continues to relax by
itself, it isn’t just to think about how much more comfortable your mind can feel as your
body relaxes.

Is it your mind that’s relaxing your body, or is it your body that’s relaxing your mind? It
really doesn’t matter that the body can relax the mind more than the mind can relax the
body, because relaxation means that both mind and body are becoming more deeply and
comfortably relaxed.

As you experience any kind of relaxation, just focus your attention on how that relaxation
grows. Where does it move towards? When relaxation begins moving it begins to
intensify. It begins to feel more comfortable and because you can feel more comfortable,
so you can relax. It means that relaxation is a comfortable experience for you.

You don’t have to experience relaxation in a comfortable way because you can
experience relaxation in so many different situations. You can experience it during a peak
moment like in sports, where you don’t necessarily think about comfort and feel that
comfort. You can feel relaxation when you're resting in an arm chair, so then relaxation
is a deeply comforting experience.

Just as you can imagine sitting in an arm chair, so you can imagine a body that’s more
comfortable. Because you can imagine a relaxed body you might find yourself relaxing
automatically, and finding that relaxation occurring automatically means that inside you
the natural relaxation mechanism has been activated.

You don’t have to think about how to activate that natural relaxation mechanism. You
just get to enjoy the relaxation mechanism because it happens automatically. You don’t
have to think about it. You just enjoy the relaxation, and the more you relax the more you
will relax.

As you begin to develop that experience more and more completely, so relaxation can
continue to deepen. You might find yourself being more relaxed as a person in your
general life because as your body really learn. That means things which used to stress
you out in the past become things that are totally trivial in the future.

You can look forward to a future filled with more relaxation because as you relax
physically now, so your personality, your whole identity becomes more relaxed. The
things around you become more relaxed, too. So you get to enjoy that as you continue to
think about how you can find relaxation in more and more ways inside your life.

Now with those happy thoughts I'm going to leave you to come back to the here and now
in your own way, in your own rate, and in your own pace. Then when you're ready just
join me in the next track. We’ll be talking more about the secrets of covert hypnosis.

How To Tell When Someone Is Hypnotised!


Track 6 3:24

Welcome back again. Now that you can use the secret language of hypnosis I would like
to address an important point which is, “How can you tell when someone is going into
hypnosis?”

It was all well and good in the first CD when we were talking about more obvious
hypnosis because just by doing the ritual, running through the process, it's pretty likely
that you'll get the results, especially if you're suggesting things like their eyes will close,
and so on. If you see it happening, it’s working. If it isn’t happening, it's not working. It’s
very easy to tell with regular hypnosis.

With covert hypnosis, because you're not officially telling them to close their eyes, you're
not officially telling them to have certain experiences, it's a little bit harder to tell when
they're going into hypnosis. Here are some simple little things you can look out for in
order to tell that their state is changing. The general rule of thumb is basically talk to
them for a little while and then notice however their mannerisms are, how they are
breathing, and how they are looking; skin color and that sort of thing.

Special Hint: Observe All Changes


As you begin to shift into your covert hypnosis, simply notice if there are any changes in
the things that you’ve observed from the beginning. If there are changes it means you’ve
affected them in some way. That’s going to usually be a good thing. Of course, you want
to make sure that you're affecting them in a pleasant way.

1st Sign Of Trance: Relaxation


The kinds of things that tend to happen when people go into trance, especially when they
are relaxation-based hypnosis, are things you might notice like their muscles start to
relax. Their facial features start smoothing out and it becomes plainer.

2nd Sign Of Trance: Lack Of Movement


You will also probably notice that they move around less. There is less motion involved.
People tend to inhibit their motions or their movements when they go into hypnosis. It is
as true of big movements, like hands moving around and pointing and bouncing and that
sort of stuff, as it is of little movements.

3rd Sign Of Trance: Eyes Fixate On A Point


Typically the eyes, for example, will begin to fix in a point in space and look at it. They
might look at you fixedly and not look away. They might look at the floor or the ceiling

42

or some other person. Their eyes will tend to glaze over slightly and get a sort of fixed
look or expression.

4th Sign Of Trance: Changes In Breathing


Another good giveaway is their breathing. Typically their breathing becomes more deep
and more even for people under hypnosis. Sometimes, of course, it becomes shallower
and faster. The key thing is, “Is their breathing shifting significantly?”

5th Sign Of Trance: Changes In Skin Colour


The final trance signal to look out for is the changing of skin color. Typically, when
people go into hypnosis their coloration will change because blood flows differently.
Sometimes they will begin to blush more. They will get a more red tone to their skin.
Sometimes it will be the opposite. They’ll get a bit more pale or waxy as blood flows
away from the skin, particularly as it's diverted away from the face.

Summary Of The 5 Key Signs Of Trance


The key signals, not the whole list but the key ones to look out for, are:

1. Are they getting physically more relaxed?


2. Are their movements becoming more inhibited, smaller, slower and lesser,
especially the eyes?
3. Are their eyes getting a little bit glassy?
4. Is their breath shifting, typically lower and deeper but sometimes faster and
shallower?
5. Do you find their skin color changing? Is it changing and becoming deeper,
darker, maybe redder; or is it turning paler and more waxy?

All of these are great signs that they're going into hypnosis.

The Secret To Having A Hypnotic Voice


Track 7 8:42

I would like to address another key feature of hypnosis in general, but that is particularly
important in covert hypnosis, and that’s the idea of hypnotic tonality. The words that you
speak are very powerful, but they're not the only part of your influence.

Your tonality creates this wonderful, rich environment which gives the words more
meaning. You can say, “I love you,” in a sarcastic way, which means people understand
you don’t mean it; and you can say it in a way that you genuinely mean it. There is a
whole range between. The entire range is based on your tonality; how you're saying it,
what pitch, what voice, what rhythm, what speed, at what point you say things.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


43

Be Expressive
The same is true for all of your suggestions. Tonality is one of the true secrets of
hypnosis masters and it's surprising how many people don’t use it well, particularly in the
old school of hypnosis. Many people talk about having a monotone, where you just
hypnotize people by speaking like this.

Really, to be honest with you, that’s kind of like a boredom trance. It can work, but you
get so much more out of using your tonality with elegance and with deep expression.
Using expressive suggestions is a very powerful way of getting directly to the
unconscious mind because your tonality, the way you express yourself, gives it a whole
coloration, an emotional undertone.

Stimulate Emotions
Emotions are the seat of the unconscious mind. When you squeeze the meaning out of
your words, when you really make them mean the things you want them to mean just by
making them sound more important, by stretching them out or shortening them down, at
that point it reaches an emotional undertone which the unconscious mind responds to
really powerfully.

Think of it this way. When you have a small child that’s frightened, you don’t just use
logical words to reason with them. You use a certain tone. Sometimes you take all the
words away and you just go, “Shush now. It’s all okay now. Shush. It's fine. Just relax.
It's fine.”

The kind of tone you would use to calm down a frightened animal or a frightened child is
perfect for hypnosis because it creates the perfect atmosphere, the ambience in which
hypnosis can take place. It kind of seduces people into it, because people want that
experience to become stronger inside them.

The 2 Key Hypnotic Tonalities


We all love the idea of safety and security, of comfort and relaxation. These are
wonderful things throughout our life, so we are going to use these tonalities in order to
kind of wash all of our suggestions and make them that much more appealing because of
it.

Change Your Tone To Match Your Suggestion


Of course, you'll want your tonality to match whatever you're saying. If you want to get
someone excited, there is no point talking about excitement…like…this…

Why?

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


44

Because it's not very exciting. Excitement is a different tonality. You get animated and
you allow it to happen inside you, and of course your language changes.

Similarly, if you want someone to relax you don’t help someone start relaxing in this kind
of tonality, because it's not a very relaxing tonality. You need to change your tonality and
allow yourself to just create a seductive and a wonderful tonality in which people just
want to relax. It's like an armchair that people can rest in. Your voice creates that
experience.

The secret of hypnotic voices is to make your tonality match the experience that you're
talking about. When it's exciting and motivating you pick up the pace. When it's calm and
relaxing you slow down the pace.

Develop Your “Hypnotic Voice”


As a general rule, you want to create a hypnotic voice which you can use for different
kinds of trances. The best kind of hypnotic voice to use, just because it's most useful for
most situations, is one which is slower, lower, and with more power. By more power I
don’t mean commanding in a sense of telling people what to do, but more power in a
sense of there is meaning attached. It seems like it's important.

So we need to be able to speak in this way. Just notice that even though I'm not doing
anything else that’s particularly hypnotic, just by changing the tonality it begins to draw
you in and you want to listen to things that I am saying.

This is a perfect example of conversational hypnosis. I'm asking you to listen to what I'm
saying and you want to listen to what I'm saying. Is that because I'm suggesting the
experience, or is that because I'm mind reading the experience that you're having? The
truth lies somewhere in between the two.

Having a slower, lower, and a more power-filled tonality is a great general tonality to
practice and get used to, so that you can drop into it in the middle of conversations. The
way other people experience this tonality is it will just seem to them that you just hit an
important point, so you're slowing down to emphasize something, or to really point
something out.

It's a bit like when you have an intimate conversation with a friend. You kind of shut the
rest of the world out. That’s kind of how it will be perceived. Of course, you'll know that
you're making it into a more hypnotic interaction, where the things that you're saying
have a much more powerful impact on the other person.

The Myths & The Truth About A Hypnotic Voice


Now whilst we’re talking about tonality, I want to introduce you to one more really
important concept that is totally misunderstood by very many people. It's the secret of the
hypnotic voice.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


45

There is a kind of myth going around, a kind of urban legend that there is a special kind
of voice tone that you use which will send everyone into a trance. In a way it's sort of
true, in the sense that a slower, lower, more powerful or meaningful tonality will kind of
pull people in, because they want to listen to you more. Likewise a more energetic,
excited, et cetera, tonality draws people in more into the excitement, the emotion of what
you're doing.

Having said that, they are not by themselves hypnotic.

How To Condition People to respond To Your Hypnotic Voice


The way you create a hypnotic voice is actually through training. You're going to
condition a certain tone of voice so that when they hear that tone of voice, people
automatically go into hypnosis. This is particularly important in covert hypnosis because
otherwise, if you don’t do this, then your normal voice will become conditioned to
hypnosis and every time you speak to that person they will go into a trance.

Now that might sound like fun right now, but wait until you start talking to your friend
whilst they're driving a car and they get distracted and end up having an accident. That’s
not good. To be ethical, as well as to have control of when you do it and when you don’t,
it's important to switch your tonality and have a specific kind of tone and rhythm that you
only use for hypnosis and nothing else.

It's a clever switch inside your own mind, which kind of opens up your hypnotic abilities
at that point. It's really important for the other person, because then you’ve trained them
to respond to your hypnotic voice.

The beauty of this is that once you’ve been talking to someone and you’ve switched in
and out of your hypnotic voice and you’ve trained them to respond more hypnotically, at
that point just by switching tonality they will automatically drop into hypnosis. It's the
world’s easiest hypnotic induction.

How do you do this? How do you condition your hypnotic voice? The simple way to do
this is you talk in your normal regular voice. You talk about normal regular things, and as
soon as you do anything that’s even vaguely hypnotic, in other words you're using the
imagination or you're using your Four Words of Power together with your hypnotic
themes, you switch into your hypnotic voice.

Then when you finished doing that, you switch back to your regular voice. Everything
which is a regular conversation is done in your regular voice. Everything which is
hypnotic is done in your hypnotic voice.

Over time that just conditions it in, so that by just switching tonality people go into
hypnosis. It's a wonderful thing. Experiment with it and enjoy it.

How To Secretly Use The Hypnotic Imagination


Track 8 5:48

Let's go back to an idea that we covered in the first CD, the power of the imagination.
Remember, the imagination is one of the master keys to hypnosis and powerful
suggestion. You will really be able to paint a picture in someone’s mind or better still,
create a mental movie in all the five senses to really bring it to life. In doing so, you bring
the experience to life, and of course that has the hypnotic effect.

The question is: How can you do this when you're doing it conversationally, when you're
doing it covertly?

It's easy enough to say to someone, “Imagine this and imagine that,” but if you're doing it
conversationally, how can you do this without being caught, without people realizing that
you're doing something hypnotic?

Sometimes you can get away with it by simply saying, “Imagine this. Do that. Put this
picture in your mind,” being quite direct about it, and it will fit the conversational context
that you're using. That’s fine.

At other times though, you need to get a little bit more sneaky, a little bit more covert.
Just be able to come in around the side without people’s attention being drawn to the fact
that you're beginning to draw pictures inside their minds and control the movies that they
make inside their heads.

I'd like to introduce you to three very simple techniques to do this. They're all related to
each other in a slightly different way.

Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 1: My Friend John…


The first technique is called the “My Friend John” technique. It's a very famous hypnotic
induction. Basically it rests on the principle that when you talk to someone about
someone else’s experience they have to, in their mind at some level, take on that other
person’s experience in order to understand what you're talking about.

The classic way this was done is when talking to someone who wants to go into hypnosis
and is a little bit scared of doing so, the hypnotist might just say, “Well, I have a friend
called John who wanted to go into hypnosis, as well. I told John, “Just close your eyes
and go into hypnosis.” ”

Whilst you're talking about everything that happened with John, of course they're having
the same experience. You can just talk about your friend John, your friend Jane, or
Mary—it doesn’t matter who it is—and how they had some pictures inside of their mind,
how they thought some things, how they had a certain mental movie going through them,
how they talked themselves in a certain tone of voice.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


47

Whilst you're describing what happened to your friend, the person right in front of you
will have the exact same experience. It's a beautiful little way of putting thoughts and
pictures inside someone else’s mind without telling them that that’s what you're doing.

Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 2: Its Just Like…


Another very simple and very effective method is the simile. It's basically just words like,
“It's like this,” or, “It's like that.” How often have you turned to a simile in the middle of
a conversation in order to explain yourself? “The problem is like I'm doing this and I'm
doing that. It’s like that.”

A simile is great because it allows you to draw a mental picture for someone whilst
talking or referring to whatever situation you're talking about. Of course, once the mental
picture is inside of their mind you’ve got the power of imagination working for you.

For example, let's say you want someone to excel at using a computer system. You can
say, “Using a computer is just like going swimming. At first you just dip your little toe in
and it feels cold. You'll know whether or not you can get into the water, but soon you
become so used to having your foot or your toe in the water that you just begin to wonder
what it’s going to be like to just throw your whole body in and enjoy the splash and that
wonderful light sensation of being in the water. Learning to use a new computer is
exactly the same.”

What has computer and swimming got anything to do with it?

Not much, but by using the simile principle and the words “just like this,” you can draw a
wonderful picture of something which is pleasant inside their mind, and link it to
whatever idea you're presenting. Of course, they did get the idea that perhaps learning a
computer is just a step-by-step process, but instead of telling them logically you're telling
them through the power of the imagination, which is much more effective.

Covert Hypnotic imagination Technique 3: Switch Referential Index


The final technique is related to the “My Friend John” technique. This is called a
“Switching of Referential Index.” It has a very complex label to it, but don’t worry about
the label too much.

Essentially you're going to introduce it with a little phrase, “You know when XY Zed
happens.” Basically what happens here is you're going to talk about your own experience,
but halfway through the experience you switch from saying I to you. People do this all
the time.

“You know when you're walking down the street and you see an old friend and you wave
to them but suddenly you realize that they're not really the person you thought they were?
Notice what I just did there. I'm talking about my experience or I'm actually talking about
universal experience, but I switched to talking about, “You know when you do this.”

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


48

Some people only speak in the second person, even when they talk about themselves.
“What's the problem?”

“Well, you know when you get these headaches?”

I don’t get headaches – but they're talking about this as though you did. It's kind of a
hypnotic suggestion.

They switch their referential index. When they say, “You know when?” or, “You know
what it's like?” then you switch from saying, “I do this. I do that,” to, “You do this,” and
“You do that.” It’s a very natural switch to take and it ends up being a very simple way of
giving people very direct suggestions without them ever knowing it's happening.

With these three methods you can use the power of imagination, and use it covertly.

How To Use The Hypnotic Gaze Induction


Track 9 4:54

How can you pull everything you’ve learned together in order to use covert hypnosis in a
more official kind of capacity?

You have a kind of template inside your mind of what to do. Just like you had “The Ten
Second Hypnotist” for regular hypnosis, there is something called the Hypnotic Gaze
Induction, which you can use to fit in all the things you know about covert hypnosis.

Remember, so far you’ve learned some very powerful strategies. You’ve got the idea of
hypnotic themes and the Four Words of Power, in other words the secret language of
hypnosis. You have the ability of switching through your tonality in order to influence
them at an emotional level, and you have the ability to use the imagination in order to
augment your suggestions.

You can use it individually or you can use all of these together for an added impact. You
can start casually dropping them in conversation every now and again, and you can use
them in little chunks in order to actually achieve this specific outcome.

If you want structure, remember you're still using the ABS formula.

A stands for Attract Attention or Absorb Attention,


B stands for Bypass the critical factor, and
S stands for Stimulate the unconscious mind.

Most of the things you're doing will already have some of their attention. I'm going to
teach you a little thing that’s going to do all the AB part of the formula almost
automatically, while it’s doing the other things. Also remember, of course, that your

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


49

language and your imagination exercises, all these things, are going to have the effect of
bypassing the critical factor and absorbing their attention as you're talking to them.

The Power Of Your Hypnotic Gaze


These are just ways of augmenting what you already have. The Hypnotic Gaze induction
is basically like the Hypnotic Gaze induction we talked about at the end of the first CD.
You're going to look at someone’s eyes and hold that gaze.

This is a very unusual thing to do. In our society it is considered “impolite” to stare, so
when we talk about holding someone’s eye contact I don’t mean staring in a weird or
scary way. I don’t mean staring in a confrontational sort of way. The difference between
them has everything to do with what's going on inside you.

Key Secret: Make It Friendly!


When you feel good and friendly and have a crinkle in the side of your eyes, that attitude
projects out of you through something called sub-communication. It kind of leaps out of
your body language, out of your tonality, and people feel safe around you.

At the same time, the eye contact makes them feel a little bit edgy or nervous. You want
that because it kind of throws off-kilter the normal way of thinking, which means that
their critical factor, their critical mind, has nothing to attach to. It’s the first thing to go
when things become uncertain.

Through the power of eye contact and holding a little bit of silence, people start getting a
little bit uncomfortable. At that point you can start talking emphatically with purpose and,
of course, using the master keys like the secret language of hypnosis, flow, association,
and the imagination in order to instill the hypnotic attitude that you want another person
to adopt.

Using Your Hypnotic Gaze In A Normal Conversation


The approach is very simple. You look at their eyes. You fall silent for a little while just
to see what happens. Typically what happens is they’ll start rapid talking for a while, and
start asking questions trying to get your feedback. At that point, basically, they are a little
bit nervous, and that’s what you want.

When that happens, you start going into a kind of a monologue. In other words, you start
talking and you keep right on talking. You keep right on talking emphatically,
purposefully, like what you're saying is the most important thing in the world. Believe it
or not I am doing it right now. It’s kind of almost like a lecturing tonality.

You can also switch the tonality to a more relaxing tonality. You can still talk
emphatically and switch your tonality into a different kind of hypnotic experience, but
you still keeping talking and you're still in control of that part of the interaction. When

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


50

they start contributing things, when they start talking again, it will break the hypnotic
spell for awhile.

Hypnotic Cycles
To solve the problem you just go right back again. You go through these cycles, a little
bit of hypnosis, a little bit of regular conversation, a little bit of hypnosis, a little bit of
regular conversation. These cycles are very useful and very powerful.

What this does, of course, is allow you dispense with a regular induction. With a
Hypnotic Gaze together with the master keys, the principles that we’ve been talking
about, you now have the makings of a perfect, undetectable, covert induction.

The Hypnotic Blitz Technique


Track 10 8:18

Let's see if we can up the ante even further. I want to teach you a technique called the
Hypnotic Blitz. This technique is technically a semi-overt technique. In other words,
there is a reasonable likelihood that people will know that you're doing something
unusual, maybe even hypnotic.

However most people, unless they know you're a hypnotist, won't realize that you're
trying to hypnotize them because it just sounds like you're being very enthusiastic about
something or very engaged in something. In fact the Hypnotic Blitz has been used on you
several times throughout your life without you really recognizing that that’s what's going
on.

Curses & Benedictions


Before we go into the ins and outs of the Hypnotic Blitz, I would like to talk a little bit
about curses and benediction. Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon, as you know, and
people fall into trances all the time. The problem is that sometimes people get negative
messages whilst they're in one of these trances.

For example, let's say you come home from school. You have a bad report card and your
mother or your father or your guardian is upset with you and they give you a stern talking
to. If they don’t watch their language, they can actually induce a trance and at the same
time give you negative suggestions like, “You're no good. You're lazy. Why are you so
lazy?”

These aren’t useful things to be carrying in the back of your mind. It's the kind of mental
baggage that you don’t need and you don’t want. It's a mental curse, and the curse is
ironically not usually given by someone who doesn’t like you.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


51

It’s usually given in an attempt at being in your best interest. It's given by someone who
is a very poor hypnotist, typically, because they don’t know they're doing it. However we
still have these curses.

The benediction is, of course, the opposite. We’ve all had the experience when a friend, a
parent, or a loved one speaks to us in a particular tone of voice, in a particular way, about
all the qualities that they like about us. In doing so it's giving a kind of hypnotic blessing.

They talk about it in such a way that we’ve been empowered. We feel more confident.
We feel better about ourselves. This is the opposite of hypnotic curse. It's a hypnotic
benediction. It talks well of someone.

The Hypnotic Blitz As A Benediction


The Hypnotic Blitz is going to use a kind of overload technique of hypnosis in order to
create a hypnotic benediction, to make people feel like a million dollars, and then attach
that onto a motivator. In other words to get them to do something, maybe to get a dry
cleaner to give you better dry cleaning, to get better service from a restaurant, to create a
more intimate relationship with a loved one.

It doesn’t matter what it is. Benedictions are wonderful tools which will allow you to
create a wonderful experience with someone else, whilst at the same time getting
something more beneficial for yourself as well.

A Step By Step Guide To The Hypnotic Blitz


For hypnotic benedictions you basically want to pull out a theme. Remember we talked
about hypnotic themes before in terms of relaxation and focus, et cetera? Now you're
going to switch to a benediction theme. These are things like the ability to learn more
easily, the ability to have more self esteem, to feel confident, and also the goal in the
future.

The Three Themes


There are many different benediction themes that you can pull out. These are the three
that I want you to focus on:

1. The ability to learn because life is about learning new things;


2. The ability to feel confidence and like yourself and be liked by other people; and
3. The goal in the future, to expect good things to happen to you in the future.

When you take this theme and you use all the things that you learned about so far, you
can start basically having a positive rant about something. The key thing, of course, is
that you have to have them engaged with it and you have to have their critical factor, their
critical mind, disengaged.

52

Here is the method for doing this.

Hypnotic Blitz Step 1: Go First


Step number one is to go first. In hypnosis, when we talk about going first that means
having the emotional experience inside you, so you're totally convinced.

If you want someone to be excited and motivated and enthused about a product that
you're selling, there is no point even starting until you're motivated and excited and
infused yourself.

Why?

Because that carries through and they get kind of charged up by it. They get infected by
your enthusiasm.

The same is true of relaxation. If you want people to be relaxed, you have to be at least
more relaxed than they are when you start off because, again, it gives them a subtle
communication in which direction to move as they follow you.

Begin by going first. If you're going to give someone self esteem suggestions for more
confidence for example, go first and remind yourself of all the good things you think
about them, why you think they should be confident, why they should feel great about
themselves. At that point, once you’ve stuck that inside your own mind, that’s something
you do without really telling people you're doing it.

Hypnotic Blitz Step 2: The Hypnotic Gaze


Then you begin with the whole Hypnotic Gaze procedure we just talked about. You hold
their eye contact to the point where it's a little bit uncomfortable. Just at the point where
they start getting nervous and they want to break the tension, you'll break the tension by
speaking. You will not break the eye contact.

Hypnotic Blitz Step 3: Unleash Your Theme


As you make eye contact, as you have these wonderful ideas and feelings inside yourself
and you start getting animated about it, you begin to go into your themes, your hypnotic
themes, your benediction themes; let's say your ability to learn things, to learn things
quickly and easily. At that point you just get animated and enthused about that theme,
because you can learn about hypnosis in so many different ways.

It's so easy to learn hypnosis because you have the capacity. Think about it. You have
learned hypnosis so many times in your life without even knowing about it. You’ve talked
to a friend and cheered them up and you didn’t even know what you were saying. All you
had was the genuine desire to help that person and so you learned to do it.

As you learned those things and as you learned a whole bunch of other things in your life,
you can learn to master this thing. Think about how easily you learn to do things like
mastering to drive a car and mastering writing and reading. Even though that may not
have been easy at the time, they're easy for you right now because you have the benefit of
experience and practice.

Every single time you learn something it becomes easier to learn something new and
something different, because you have more experiences inside you that allow you to
learn new things. That is why you're going to master hypnosis and learn it quickly, easily
and without any problems whatsoever.

Breakdown Of A Benediction
Notice what I did there. I went into one of these so-called positive rants. I went into a
benediction. The Hypnotic Blitz is all about overloading people. You can use the
Hypnotic Gaze with a more slow and comfortable pace, and that’s fine.

The Hypnotic Blitz, though, requires you to keep talking in such an animated way that it
kind of blows through any resistance. It blows through any negativity the person might
have. It blows through any objections.

Basically it uses overpowering, but in a positive, overpowering mood; to kind of blow


through anything that is in its way. You're using enthusiasm. You're using animation.
You're using the principle of going first to blow right through any resistance, any
problems a person may have. All that’s left at that point is the positive message that you
have for people.

Think of it a bit like a rabbit being caught in the headlights of a car, but this time instead
of being hit by a car, which is going to be a negative experience, they're going to be hit
by a really positive experience. Then keep right on hitting them with positive experiences
until they're imbedded deeply in their subconscious mind, and the person just feels better.
They feel more optimistic about their future. They feel better about themselves.

They feel better about their ability to learn and they think, “Yeah. This kind of makes
sense.” This is the best way to help people in a conversational setting and be known as a
thoroughly enthusiastic, motivating, and wonderful person to be around.

This is the power of the Hypnotic Blitz. Use it well and use it often.

Hypnotic Influence
Track 11 4:00

Before we finish up on this CD, I would like to talk a little bit about influence. Influence
is really one of the main reasons why people don’t get interested in hypnosis. Of course,

54

it's the ability to help other people and create positive life changes, but even that requires
you to influence someone at some level.

Influence Secret 1: Change Moods to Change Minds


The main key to influence, and this is one of the most important things you could ever
remember, is that you want to change people’s moods in order to change their minds. The
problem is most people who try to influence others begin with their minds. They try using
logic and reason.

Logic and reason have their place in the influencing scheme of things, but more
important than logic and reason is the mood, the emotional state. We make decisions
based on emotions. If you can affect someone else's emotions you will affect the
decisions they make, the conclusions they come to. If you can attach a strong emotion to
an idea they’ll become attracted to it, or also repelled towards it.

The key to all influence is to change people’s moods in order to change their minds.

Influence Secret 2: Notice Emotions


In order to do this, become very sensitive to how people are feeling at one moment in
time. Become observant of people. When you become observant you'll notice what mood
they're in right now, and you can start shifting them to one emotion or another emotion in
order to attach whatever ideas you want to have to that.

Influence Secret 3: Emphasise Emotions Over Logic


The stronger the emotion is the more convincing your arguments will be, as a rule of
thumb. You absolutely need to have emotion in order to have someone engaged in what
you're saying. If they're not engaged, no matter how logical you are they will reject the
idea.

You may have come across this before. You give someone all these logical reasons for
why they're wrong, but they're still adamant about why they're right. They can't see their
logic.

Why?

Because the negative emotions they feel when you talk about them in their logical sense
creates a defense mechanism which automatically rejects all information.

When you get the right mood, a mood where they're more positive or they're more
motivated, or they feel good, they're more willing to accept information because it's safe.

Troubleshooting Tip: Check The Emotional Climate


Make sure that whenever you have a problem with influence, the first point you get
towards is to begin to influence their mood. Then you can start adding in the ideas of
reason and logic and even pseudo logic, in order to move them forward in the interaction.

Influence Secret 4: Emotions Drive Behaviours


Start with the emotion. Include some kind of behavior at that point. When you have an
emotion, if you want to have a behavioral outcome, for example to ask someone to give
you a cup of coffee, include the behavior in it and then create a call to action at the end.
You need to be able to release whatever you’ve created in order for them to put
themselves into action.

If you're just influencing their ideas, in that case you don’t need behaviors and a call to
action because the idea already sits there attached to the emotion. If you do want a
behavior—for example, if you're a sales person you want someone to buy something, or
if you're a teacher and you want your kids to do their homework, or you're a parent and
you want your kids to tidy up their rooms—you need to attach a behavior to the feeling
and finally create a call to action.

Make them feel great. Describe the behavior maybe using the “My Friend John”
technique and then give a call to action and let them just go off and do their thing. The
way I have it visualized inside my mind is to think of it like one of those windup bunny
toys. When you build up the emotion you're winding up and winding up and winding up
the bunny.

When you describe the behavior you're kind of turning it in the direction you want it to
walk. The call to action is when you just release it and let the bunny walk in a straight
line from A all the way to B. That is the key to influence.

Street Hypnosis Exposed


CD 3 – Self Hypnosis

Introduction to CD3
Track 1 1:23

Welcome to “Street Hypnosis Exposed.” In this the third and final CD, entitled “Self
Hypnosis, Unleash Your Potential Today,” I want to share a quick and easy method for
using the power of hypnosis for yourself. Overcoming difficulties, programming in
exciting goals, and creating a future that glows brightly with promise is easy with this
method.

I'm going to show you the difference between hypnosis and self-hypnosis, and how to
create goals and turn those into powerful suggestions. Then I'll take you through the
unique method and show you how to install that at a subconscious level, so it's there
whenever you want or need it.

As soon as you're ready to experience that, just sit back, relax, and enjoy “Street
Hypnosis Exposed.”

Self Hypnosis – v – Regular Hypnosis


Track 2 3:21

Let's start off by talking about the distinction between self-hypnosis and hypnosis. By
now you should have a reasonable grasp of what hypnosis is and how to induce it, in
particular remembering the all-important ABS formula.

All Hypnosis Is Self Hypnosis


The thing about self-hypnosis is it is pretty much the same as regular forms of hypnosis.
You can use self-hypnosis on yourself, to gain all the benefits that otherwise people
would get from the power of hypnosis when you're the hypnotist, hypnotizing them.

You can overcome fears and personal phobias. You can improve your health and
overcome health problems. You can increase your happiness, your confidence, and other
emotions; and you can improve upon your wealth and success in life.

These are all the kinds of things that you can program your mind to do for you. All in all,
you could say that pretty much all hypnosis is a form of self-hypnosis, because of course
the state and the condition takes place inside the mind of the other person. Your skill as a
hypnotist is in allowing someone else, or guiding someone else through a process, to take
them to their own personal state of hypnosis.

The Crucial Difference In Self Hypnosis


In self-hypnosis we cut out the middle man, and you do it all directly on yourself.
However, there are important distinctions between regular hypnosis, or even covert
hypnosis and self-hypnosis.

The main distinction is this. Because you're guiding someone else during regular or
covert hypnosis, it means that to a certain extent they can release responsibility. They just
follow along and don’t have to have a sort of guiding and planning part of their mind
active to direct them somewhere.

Of course, when you start doing self-hypnosis there is no one to guide you through it,
unless you're using a tape of some sort. The only problem that can occur is that when you
activate the planning or the guiding part of your mind too much, you could accidentally
trigger the critical factor, the critical mind, which is of course the deadly enemy of
hypnosis.

The Receptive Mind


You want to create a condition in which you can guide yourself through the process—or
go through the process of self-hypnosis—without triggering the critical factor. This is
what we call, in self-hypnosis, the receptive mind; creating a mind which is open and
receptive to your own suggestions and at the same time has a block on the critical factor,
so that you don’t undo all the good work you’ve just done.

All your experiences in regular hypnosis and in covert hypnosis still count. In particular,
the ABS formula is going to be crucial in creating a self-hypnosis method that will work
for you. You will still have to absorb your attention. You will still have to bypass your
critical factor and you will still have to stimulate your unconscious mind. In this program
we’re going to show you how to do this.

The beauty of this course is the things that you learn here during self-hypnosis will feed
back into your ability to do regular hypnosis and covert hypnosis, so everything supports
itself. Whatever you learn here will help you in regular hypnosis, will help your covert
hypnosis, and will help you become even better at self-hypnosis. They are all in a
continuous feedback loop.

So enjoy the processes and the ideas that you're going to be exposed to here. Remember
to apply them in the other fields, as well.

How To Set A Compelling Goal


Track 3 9:18

Your first step to using self-hypnosis is, of course, to set some kind of goal up. If you
have no goal, how are you going to create suggestions to achieve it? The whole purpose
of hypnosis is a goal-seeking mechanism.

Hypnosis achieves things. Without it, it's just meditation. We need to begin with a goal in
order to be able to convert that goal into something which is hypnotic, which you can
achieve.

Not all goals are created equally, which is to say there are some goals which are formed
in a bad way, which makes them difficult to achieve. There are many subtleties that go
into the art of understanding goals properly. The easiest mechanism that we’re going to
look at today is something called the SMART goal formula. This is something you may
be familiar with already.

It's a very simple and straightforward mechanism. There are sophistications that you can
put around it to make it better, but for the purposes of creating a simple, easy to use, and
quickly accessed hypnosis program, this is going to be the easiest thing that you can get
your hands on.

Health, Wealth or Relationships?


Before we look at the SMART goals let's have a look at the kind of categories that you
can look at, in terms of improving yourself and using self-hypnosis to help you. The three
goals and categories are self-improvement—basically relationships; your wealth or
career; and your health, in which I include the physical as well as mental health.

Basically, anything that you want to achieve will fit in there somewhere. Either you want
to become more creative to help boost your career and become more successful, make
more money; or perhaps you have a fear or a phobia that’s a psychological disease.
Perhaps you have a physical disease. Perhaps you have psoriasis. Perhaps you have
stress.

Alternatively, it could be about relationships. Relationships include more than just


personal relationships in the sense of romantic relationships, although that is of course at
the top of very many people’s lists. You can have relationships with your spouse, your
children, your coworkers, your clients.

Sales people wanting to increase sales may not have a career problem. It may be a
relationship problem. They may want to improve the relationships with their clients to
make them trust them more, and want to buy more.

Think in terms of these three categories and ask yourself, “What kind of things would
you like to change? What kind of things would you like to improve upon?”

The Magic Question


The magic question which I like to ask people is,

If there were no restrictions—in other words, if you knew you could succeed—what
would you do?

If I had a magic wand in my hand right now and I could wave it three times and at the
end of the third wave you would be whatever way you wanted to be, and everything
would be the way you would want to have it, how would the world be?

What would you be capable of doing and what would you just experiment with, just to
find out how much fun it could be?

Think about this and choose one topic that you would like to work on. It could be stress
relief. It could be accelerated learning. It could be to improve a relationship, or it could
be a financial goal. Just choose one so that we can use that as an example to work
through the SMART goals formula.

I'm going to assume that you’ve chosen a topic that you want to work through and create
a goal around, which you'll then turn into a hypnotic, compelling item.

SMART Goals
Let's use the SMART formula now. SMART is an acronym that stands for five things.

S stands for Specific,


M stands for Measurable,
A stands for Affect,
R for Realistic and
T for Timed.

That’s Specific, Measurable, Affect, Realistic, and Timed. These are the five things that
you must include inside a goal, in order to make sure that it works well.

Specific
By Specific, we mean we don’t want to have a vague goal. For example, if your goal is a
financial one—you want to have more money—what is more money? If you get a regular
paycheck, guess what? The minute your next paycheck comes home, you have more
money. If you find five cents in the street, or a dollar bill, you’ve got more money. It may
not be as much as you wanted, but that’s your fault for not asking for it.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


60

When you want to be specific, I mean be specific. Be exact. Put a number on it. Say you
want to have another $50,000. You want to have another $374.24. The more specific you
are, the easier it is to achieve it.

Specific also means you're going to also make sure you have a positive goal, not a
negative one. By negative I don’t mean you have a goal that’s bad for you. By negative I
mean to have a goal that’s formulated in a positive frame.

Remember what we said during suggestions? That you can't say to “not think of a red
cat” without thinking of a red cat first?

A poor goal, an unspecific goal is to say, “I don’t want to feel afraid. I don’t want to be
coughing all the time. I don’t want to be in debt,” because that doesn’t tell you what you
should be doing. It’s not very specific. It's only specific about what you don’t want.

What is it that you do want?

Stay clear of the negative and make sure that what you want is stated in some specific
way.

To help this is the next step: M for Measurable.

Measurable
In order to make something specific it really helps to have it measurable. You’ve got to
figure out a way of knowing when you’ve achieved it.

You see, sometimes people achieve a goal that they’ll never be able to test whether or not
it's working. If they can't test whether it's working, how will they ever know that they’ve
achieved it? They might spend the rest of their lives trying to achieve something that
they’ve already achieved 50 years ago, and feel frustrated that they can't do it.

The fact is, they can do it and they have done it. It’s just that they never stopped to figure
out how they would know that they’ve achieved it, so that they would know when it was
time to celebrate and pat themselves on the back and say, “Now I've got it.”

The simplest way of doing something which is measurable is to ask yourself a question,:

What will you be seeing, hearing, and feeling when you’ve achieved your goal?

You’re going to create a scene. Think of a movie director trying to create a movie that
will let you know you’ve achieved it now.

Some examples might be picturing a fat wallet of cash that you pull out of your pocket. It
could be that if you have a skin condition, you can see your skin being clear of it and

61

feeling healthy. Whatever it is, make sure it's measurable so I will know when I have
achieved what I want.

Affect
The third step is Affect. Affect stands for emotion. It's got to affect you in some way. In
other words, your goals need to have an emotional content because your emotions are the
fuel, the motivation that drives goals. Emotions are the fuel of the unconscious mind.

If your goal hasn’t got a positive emotion, why should your unconscious mind do it?

If your goal has a negative emotion, it may actually pull you away from it. You might
imagine a goal that you think you want, but as you are imagining it or visualizing it or
creating it, if you feel bad or frustrated or angry that’s just going to pull you away from
the experience. Make sure the goals are specific, measurable, and have a positive affect;
an emotional intensity.

Realistic
The next thing is to make sure it's Realistic. By realistic we don’t mean it in a sort of
negative sense like, “That’s not realistic. That can't happen,” but realistic is in a sense of
having control over it.

Winning the lottery is not a realistic goal because you have no control over it. You might
win it or you might not, but you don’t have any control over it.

Writing a particularly good report or learning a language or increasing your vocabulary,


these are all things that are in your control. They are realistic because they are things that
you can influence by doing other things. Make sure it's realistic. It's something that’s
within your power to achieve and not something which would require magic to achieve.

Timed
Finally, make sure you have a Time frame by which to achieve it. Just like being specific,
wanting more money isn’t good enough. Just having a vague time in the future might
mean that you never actually achieve it. Set a date on the experience. Set a date on the
time you want to get the goal achieved.

Sometimes there are occasions when you can't set a date, because the nature of the goal is
one where time doesn’t really fit into it. For those kinds of goals, particularly continuing
goals like improving your golf game, et cetera, just make sure you include the time
element by saying when you're going to begin. “Begin right now. Begin on Tuesday.
Begin next week, et cetera.” Timing can be a question of the end goal, when you actually
achieve it. It can also be a question of when you begin it.

62

That’s the SMART goal formula in action. I'm going to encourage you to just take a few
moments before we move on to the next track and actually work through whatever goal
that you have chosen for yourself. Work through it in the SMART goal formula.

Make sure it's Specific. Make sure you Measure it. Make sure it has lots of emotion, that
it's got an Affect for you. Make sure it's Realistic, and that it has some kind of Timing
inside it.

Once you have that, go on to the next recording and I'll show you how to turn those goals
into golden suggestions.

How To Create A Compelling Self-Suggestion


Track 4 9:16

I'm going to assume that you’ve taken a goal and you’ve put it through the SMART goal
formula to make sure that it's as streamlined as possible for your success. The next thing
to do is to take this goal and turn it into suggestions that you can use to program your
unconscious mind, in order to get you what you want.

You can think of your unconscious mind in some respects as a bit like a computer. If you
program it to do certain things, it will do them. If you program it to reach certain
outcomes, it will find ways of achieving that also.

The Three Types Of Suggestions


Essentially, there are three types of suggestions that you'll be able to use with any self-
hypnosis program. The first type is called a prehypnotic suggestion. Then you will have
your regular hypnotic suggestions, and finally we have visualizations.

Each one works in a slightly different way and has its own unique characteristics.

A prehypnotic suggestion is a suggestion that you give yourself before you actually begin
the hypnotic process. It's kind of like preparing your mind so when you go into hypnosis
you don’t have to think about it anymore. Your mind just kind of refers back to them and
does it automatically.

A regular hypnotic suggestion is the closest thing to a regular hypnosis session that you'll
come across. Basically, once you're in self-hypnosis you just talk to yourself as though
you were talking to someone else. You give yourself the suggestions that you want.

Finally, a visualization is basically using the principle of imagination in order to reach the
unconscious mind.

63

The Problem With Self-Suggestions


Of all these types of suggestions, the regular hypnotic suggestion, believe it or not, is the
most difficult to use during self-hypnosis. The reason for that is because it usually takes
your intellect to kind of work out what to say. The minute you start using your intellect,
there's a huge danger that your critical factor will come online and start ruining things for
you.

There is a real skill to be developed in order to be able to use regular hypnotic suggestion
during self-hypnosis, without interfering. That’s basically when you really develop this
idea of a receptive mind to its fullness.

For the purposes of this program, because of the time that we have, I'm going to
recommend that you ignore regular hypnotic suggestions for the purposes of self-
hypnosis at this point. Just go with prehypnotic suggestions and visualizations.

Visualisations
Let's turn to visualizations first of all, because they're the easiest ones to convert SMART
goals into. If you think about it, in order to create a SMART goal you have at some level
probably already created a mental movie of things you'll hear, things you'll feel, things
you'll see as a result of achieving whatever your goal is. Believe it or not, that is your
visualization.

Going to the end point—when you’ve achieved everything and everything has turned out
perfectly well for you—is something that you can mentally rehearse inside your mind. In
other words, you're rehearsing the outcome inside your mind during self-hypnosis. At
that point, you're done.

Insider Secrets For Improved Visualisations


There are a couple of refinements you can put onto this. One refinement is that you could
actually go to the point after you’ve achieved something, when it's all over and it's no
longer a big deal. At that point, you go to a point in the future where you have a history
of having achieved it already.

That’s a nice little trick to use when the goal that you are up against is something you
really, really want to have. You almost want it too much, so you can't get some distance
from it. By going to the future after you’ve already achieved it and it's no longer a big
deal for you, it's an easy psychological trick for getting some distance.

The other thing you can do is, instead of going to the future, you can go into a smaller
step. You can actually begin to do things like rehearsing behavior. This is particularly
good if you want to improve a skill; for example, a sport or playing the piano. At that
point, when you go into hypnosis and begin to visualize things, you actually choose a
skill set. For example, you choose swinging the golf club or perhaps playing a particular

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


64

song, and you rehearse doing that as though it were the real thing, as though you were
right there doing it.

Remember of course ABS. You're using the visualization to stimulate your mind, but you
still want “A.” You want your attention 110% focused on the activity that you are doing.

How To Use Visualisations In Self Hypnosis


To use visualization is very simple.

1. You prepare yourself.


2. You enter into a hypnotic trance in the method I'm going to show you.
3. And then whilst you're in hypnosis you just imagine it.

You picture it. You feel it. You go through whatever it is you decided to rehearse or to
imagine, and at the end of it just come right on back and you just let it go, forget about it,
and get on with your day.

How To Turn A SMART Goal Into A Verbal Suggestion


Next, let's turn our attention to how to change a goal and collapse it into a phrase or a
hypnotic suggestion.

First of all, there are certain rules that you want to apply when using suggestions on
yourself.

The Three Golden Rules


The three basic rules are

1. Keep it in the first person. Don’t say, “You're doing this,” or, “He's doing that.”
Say, “I'm doing this. I'm doing that.”

2. Keep it in the present tense. The unconscious mind doesn’t understand times.
Time is a relative concept. If you think about it, time does not exist for you. All
that exists is right now. When you think about the future, you're doing it now.
When you think about the past, you're doing it now.

Now is really the moment of power. It's where you get to change things, and it's really the
moment that your unconscious mind understands the best. Keep it in the present tense so
that you're not suggesting something that will always be in the future. Ultimately, you'll
want the result to be one of the future “nows” that you'll experience.

3. Finally, the third rule is keep it positive. Again, if you’ve created your SMART
goals properly you will have no problem with this. By positive I mean don’t
create negative goals. Don’t say things like, “I don’t have a headache. I don’t feel

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


65

bad. I don’t feel uncomfortable.” Use positive suggestions like, “My head feels
light and clear,” like “I feel confident,” like, “I have a million dollars.”

The Law Of Parsimony


Notice that all of these examples were actually quite short. You want to be able to
encapsulate your hypnotic suggestion in 15 words or less. Don’t write long, complicated
sentences. If you're going to have more than one sentence, make them two or three short
sentences of just three or four words each.

Keep it short. Keep it simple. Make it easy to remember. The very act of changing your
goal into a short, simple, focused statement or suggestion is actually going to help you to
prepare the mind really well, in order to create the effect of the hypnotic suggestion.

The collapsed phrase, the “I'm feeling healthy. I’m confident,” et cetera, these kinds of
phrases, if you put them into a SMART formula, might sound something like this.

“On February 27th I'm feeling confident in my new job.”

Maybe you can picture the new job or you can give it a job title, for example.

That kind of puts everything you’ve learned together in one neat little package. That little
package is something that you'll be able to use as a prehypnotic suggestion as well as a
regular suggestion during hypnosis. It's easier to use as a prehypnotic suggestion because
you can write it down and read it.

Don’t Engage The Critical Factor


If you want to do it during regular hypnosis you had better practice it a lot beforehand,
because the last thing you want to do is be in hypnosis and trying to remember what it is
that you wrote down or you decided to say. That, of course, is going to just trigger the
critical factor again. It will be thinking, “Is this right? Is this good enough? Was a word
missing?”

That’s the last thing you want to do. Either rememorize the phrase thoroughly so you can
remember it easily during your hypnotic session if you're going to use it for regular
hypnosis, or just write it down and use it as a prehypnotic suggestion.

If you do want to use regular hypnotic suggestions in self-hypnosis, here's a little trick for
you that will make it much easier and keep the critical factor at bay.

Basically, you're going to pull out of your suggestions or your SMART goal a whole
bunch of hypnotic themes that help that goal. Then you're going to combine with power
words. Then, just as the way you did during the hypnotic blitz that I showed you on the
previous CD, you're going to basically run through a monologue inside your mind that’s
going to motivate you and excite you and basically give a pep talk to your unconscious
mind, using the power words and these hypnotic themes about your goal.

It might sound something like this,

“Every day and everywhere I'm feeling healthier and healthier. My lungs are fresh. My
arms are strong. I have so much energy and vitality that I'm feeling more and more alive
each day, more and more alive. The more alive I feel the clearer my lungs become, the
more my energy rises up and the more I feel like doing exercise. I love doing exercise
because the more I exercise the more amazing I feel inside.”

Notice how that little example was just using the power words, the hypnotic themes
around exercise or healthy living, and building that into a little mini-blitz that I can make
up as I go along whilst I'm in self-hypnosis.

A Step By Step Guide To This Easy Self Hypnosis Method


Track 5 9:12

I would like to describe to you the whole method, so that you understand how you're
going to use self-hypnosis and how it works and all fits together before we actually install
the method into you during a self-hypnosis procedure. The method itself is very
straightforward.

1. It starts off with a preparation phase.


2. Then it goes to a prehypnotic suggestion phase.
3. Then you induce the trance.
4. You'll drift around in there for a while.
5. And then you'll return.

Step 1: Prepare Yourself


To prepare, you're basically going to be looking at creating the right conditions in order
for you to be able to get the most out of the hypnosis.

Set Time Aside


First of all, just choose a time and a place where you'll be doing this. It's ideal to do this
in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Give yourself 15 minutes at least, maybe
half an hour. Really, once you get used to it, you'll only need five or ten minutes.

Minimise Distractions
Try to make sure that there will be no outside distractions. That means you turn off your
mobile phone. That means you lock up the dog. That means you ask someone else to take
care of the children for a while and you take the phone off the hook. Just make sure
nothing will intrude on you.

The Safety Statements


Then, as part of your preparation you're going to create certain statements, or safety
statements; statements of intent to basically set up a session for you. These safety
statements are actually prehypnotic suggestions that you give yourself, to make sure that
everything turns out well.

The safety statements basically are:

1. whilst you're in hypnosis you want to give yourself a time limit so that you come
back out of it spontaneously. If you don’t give yourself a time limit, you may
have to keep opening your eyes to look at your clock and find out whether or not
you’ve taken enough time up or something else has happened. When you go in,
start getting used to saying, “I'm going into self-hypnosis for ten minutes,” for
example.

2. The next thing you want to do is to create the basic safety statement which says,
“If anything should happen that requires my attention whilst I'm in hypnosis, I
will wake up instantly, feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, and ready to deal with
the situation.”

Basically, what this deals with is a situation where perhaps you're in a nice, deep, self-
hypnosis trance. You're drifting away. You're ignoring the outside world for awhile and
your house catches fire. At that point, it would probably be a very good thing for you to
come out of self-hypnosis and deal with the situation, rather than spending the next ten
minutes in trance whilst the house burns around you.

Time & Place


You choose a time and a place. You create a safety statement where you choose a time.
“For the next ten minutes I'm going to go into hypnosis, and should at any point during
this self-hypnosis procedure something require my attention, an emergency or otherwise,
I'll come back out feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, instantly, so that I can deal with the
situation quickly and efficiently.” That’s the preparation phase of it.

Step 2: Prehypnotic Suggestions


Now you're going to go into the official prehypnotic phase, in which you take out the
suggestion that you’ve prepared previously. You’ve written it out on a little piece of
paper and you're going to read it to yourself between five and ten times. Sometimes you'll
get the feeling that just once is enough. Sometimes you may want to do it a few more
times, but basically what you're doing at this point is filling your mind up with that
suggestion.

Don’t just fill up with the words. The words aren’t the really important part. The really
important part is the meaning behind the words. Treat your prehypnotic suggestion slip as
a kind of exercise in philosophy and ask yourself, “What do you mean?”

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


68

Make sure that those words represent the entire SMART goal, the things that you thought
about going in, the things that you want to avoid, everything that goes around, that gets
activated every time you read the prehypnotic suggestion. It becomes like a little red
light, a little button that lights up all the associations you have to that. You want to get
your mind really around it. You want to fill your mind completely with that idea before
you begin with hypnosis, so that this is like the dominant idea that is inside your mind as
you go into hypnosis.

Of course, just like when you’ve had a really busy day or a day with a really dominant
theme and you end up going to sleep at night and dreaming about that, so the same is true
in hypnosis. When you fill your mind up with some dominant ideas or dominant theme
and you go into self-hypnosis, that dominant idea will be the guiding theme throughout
your self-hypnosis session.

Step 3: Induce Trance


Then you induce a trance. I'll describe to you in a moment how you do this. Then once
you're in a trance, you just allow yourself to drift. Don’t do anything in particular.

Step 4: Drift
You may have a kind of hypnotic dream, a kind of a daydream about the things that you
thought about. That’s fine. You may think about different things. That’s fine. You may
not think that you're thinking about anything at all, and that is also fine.

The key idea is to allow your unconscious mind freedom to express itself and do with the
suggestions whatever it wants to. It needs to absorb them in its own way. Just drift
around. Enjoy the experience. It will be very pleasant.

Step 5: Return
Then at the end of the time, return. How do you know it's time to return? You'll kind of
get a feeling. You'll get a sense that it's time for your eyes to open. Maybe a little voice
will tell you that your ten minutes are up, or your fifteen minutes are up. You may get
some other version of this.

Importantly, when you get a sense that it's time to return, just bring yourself back. Just
allow yourself to kind of notice where your legs are, your feet are, your hands; bring
yourself back into your body. Open your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, and you'll
probably want to stand up and have a nice big stretch to make sure that everything is back
in its normal place.

Priming Your Inner Clock


At this point, you will want to have a quick look at your watch to check how long you
were in hypnosis. Some of you will go into self-hypnosis and you'll hit it right on the

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


69

button. In other words, every time that you do this—and let's say you're going to spend
15 minutes in trance—you’ll come back out and exactly 15 minutes will have passed.
That will be a certain amount of you as you try that.

Some of you will miss on the time. In other words, you'll do it a little bit too short or a
little bit too long. Really don’t concern yourself about this just now. Just note the time.
Just go, “Uh huh. That was the time. That’s how long it really took.” Next time when you
do your preparation phase again, tell yourself, “Ten minutes, twelve minutes,” whatever,
and really focus on the time.

What will happen over repetition is that your unconscious mind will begin to hook up
clock time with internal time. When you hook up clock time with internal time, you'll be
able to basically tell the time any time of day, wherever you are, just by listening to your
unconscious mind. It can be very, very accurate.

I'll give you an example of how this works. I have not used an alarm clock since I think it
was 1995, when I first learned this method. Since that day I have not used an alarm clock,
ever. I just use my unconscious mind and tell it when to wake me up in the mornings.
This is how good you can get.

Summary Of The 5 Steps


The stages again:

1. Prepare: get a time and place where you'll be left undisturbed, create a safety
statement and a time statement, “I'm going to go into hypnosis for the next 12
minutes. If at any point in time during this 12 minutes an emergency should arise
or some other reason comes that needs my attention on the outside, I will
instantly wake up feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, and ready to deal with
whatever requires my attention.”

2. Then you'll go to your prehypnotic statement. You will read your card aloud,
along the lines of, “It is the 12th of February 2050. I have a bank account with 50
million dollars in it and I'm very happy.” You read that through, and you read
through and get the full emotion of that. You read through over and over again.
You fill your mind with that experience.

3. Once you’ve got that experience dominating inside your mind, you'll go through
the trance process.

4. You'll drift, allowing your unconscious mind to do whatever it wants. Then you
return. You stretch. You check the time. You’re done.

There is a slight alternative to this version. The alternative is, instead of drifting during
the trance phase allowing your unconscious mind to do whatever it wants to do, you can
instead use your visualization at this point to really rehearse the outcome or the skill that

70

you want to have. This is particularly useful, by the way, if you want to improve a certain
skill.

Use your prehypnotic suggestion, for example. “My golf swing is improving more and
more. I have a perfect golf swing.”

At that point when you go into the trance, instead of drifting you just imagine all the
movements of that golf swing. You may only imagine it first in slow motion, so you'll
have everything being in perfect alignment. You might get the feel, the angle of your
hips, everything put in place.

You repeat it over and over and over again for as long as your time allows.

5. When you get a sense that your time has run out, you come back out. Like
before, have a quick stretch and check the time on your watch. Just make sure
that your unconscious mind can hook up clock time with internal time.

How To Go Into Self Hypnosis


Track 6 4:38

Now that you understand the procedure, how are you going to actually induce a trance in
yourself?

The good news is that everything you’ve learned so far still counts. That means all the
inductions that you’ve learned about so far can still be used to induce a trance in yourself
right now. It will work really well.

To make things easier for you I'm going to show you one more method, a method which
is going to make it much easier and simpler to go into self-hypnosis. It has a whole bunch
of interesting things built into it, as well.

This method is based on the iMethod, which is a kind of mind training program that you
can put yourself through in order to basically achieve all the other things you want out of
life. It’s a much more involved method.

The basic element of the iMethod can be used really easily in order to induce a trance in
yourself. How do you do this?

The Step by Step Self Hypnosis Method


1. Very simply, you begin with eye fixation, as with many of the other methods
you’ve learned. You'll choose a spot on the wall out in front of you which is
slightly above eye level, so that your eyes lift up a little bit above the horizontal.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


71

2. The next step is to focus on that spot with utter intensity. You'll find that you'll
begin to strain a little bit; especially the muscles around the eyes will strain to try
to get a microscopic focus on that particular spot.

3. When you feel that strain, just allow the muscles to relax. As you allow the
muscles around your eyes to relax, typically what will happen is that your vision
will soften. You'll begin to see more and more of the room. Whereas before,
when you're concentrating hard you focus down onto that spot, when you soften
your eyes you begin to see more and more of the things around you. You’re
activating your peripheral vision.

This is important, because your peripheral vision is tied directly to something known as
the relaxation response. You have the stress response and the relaxation response for
flight or fight, and relaxation. Those are two different parts of neurology, the sympathetic
and the parasympathetic nervous system, so by going to peripheral vision you're actually
stimulating the relaxation response in you. As you know, the relaxation is a great
doorway into hypnosis.

You're going to fix your attention on a spot on the wall. Focus so intently that you begin
to screw up your eyes a little bit and get a little bit of tension in your eyes. Then you're
going to relax all the muscles in your eyes to the point where your vision softens and
begins to spread out. Allow it to spread out like a pond, so that you have ripples on a
pond spreading out more and more widely.

4. Once it’s beginning to spread out enough, you'll notice that your breathing will
shift. It will change gears. As your vision expands, enjoy the sensation. At the
right time I will point your attention down to your breathing and you'll notice that
your breathing has changed. This is a great sign that the relaxation response has
been triggered.

5. At that point you can just simply close your eyes and you’re pretty much in a
nice, comfortable trance state. Now you can drift, or if you prefer you can create
some lovely visualizations.

If you find drifting not such a pleasant experience you can use your visualizations, and
rather than visualizing the goal you can just visualize a really pleasant scene like we
talked about before, the forest or seaside scene, something that you find very relaxing.

When you visualize that relaxing scene, of course in the back of your mind your
unconscious mind is working through those prehypnotic suggestions that you’ve created.

6. Like before, as soon as you feel that the moment has come to return, just bring
yourself back refreshed, relaxed, and alert. Stretch. Check the time out and you're
pretty much done.

72

That’s the method that I'm going to take you through. In the next track, I'm going to
install that method in you by going through a little hypnotic procedure which is going to
start with this method, and then is going to go into a deeper hypnotic process inside. That
prehypnotic process will basically condition you to the self-hypnosis process and make it
easier for you.

I'm going to use suggestions along the lines that it's going to help you have fun, make it
more enjoyable, that you can use it every day. It's going to help you rest, and achieve
your goals, and make you more happy and confident as a person. These are the kinds of
suggestions I’m going to use, just so you know up front what's going to happen.

Of course the next track is hypnotic. If you're operating any kind of machinery or driving
a car, just stop whatever you're doing before you go on to listen. Really focus your
attention on the installation of this self-hypnosis method.

Self Hypnosis Installation


Track 7 20:31

We’re going to begin the installation of the self-hypnosis method using the iMethod. Just
make yourself comfortable and select a point on the wall out in front of you, a little bit
above eye level.

Select that point and fix all your attention on that point. Begin to make out the minutest
details that you are capable of at this point in time. Focus all your attention on that point
and notice how that brings a little bit of strain into your eyes.

Just relax your eyes. Relax the muscles around your eyes. As you feel the muscles around
your eyes relaxing you'll notice that your vision tends to expand, like ripples on a pond.
Allow your vision to expand easily and naturally, as you begin to go into hypnotic
experience to master the art of self-hypnosis.

As that vision continues to expand, you can see more and more of the room; perhaps the
ceiling, the walls and the different colors and textures. There is no need to make any
distinction anymore between one spot or another, and other things. Just notice how, as
your vision expands, there is a tendency for your breathing to shift, to calm down, to
become deeper, more even, easy, and more comfortable.

As soon as you notice your breathing has shifted just close your eyes. Close your eyes
and allow that sense of peace and comfort to drift throughout your mind and your body.
With your eyes closed, I'm going to invite your attention to different parts of your
experience in order to help you to relax even more deeply into hypnosis, and really
establish a solid foundation for your ability to use self-hypnosis to achieve any goal that
you want.

73

Pay attention to the top of your head; the skin around your scalp and the top of your
head. As you pay attention to this part of your head you'll notice that it's easy to relax the
top of your head. As you relax the top of your head you can realize that hypnosis and
self-hypnosis is easy. It's fun. Self-hypnosis is an enjoyable and comforting experience.

As you continue to drift ever deeper into a more comfortable state of hypnosis, I would
like for you to realize the sounds around you really aren’t important. You can hear and
notice all kinds of things and that just helps you to focus inside. In your eyes for example,
focus your attention on your eyes, the muscles around your eyelids and feel them relax.
As the muscles around your eye relax, you can relax all the way down into hypnosis.

The deeper you go, the more you relax. The sound of my voice will be with you and help
you to relax even more comfortably, and open your mind to the power of self-hypnosis.
Self-hypnosis is not just easy but thoroughly enjoyable.

It's a powerful experience that will allow you to rest and recuperate through all the
things that have happened in your day, so that in a few minutes of hypnosis you'll have
the experience of having rested as well and comfortably as an entire nighttime of sleep.
Your goals can be achieved more easily when you use self-hypnosis to focus your
attention.

Just focus your attention now on your shoulders. As you focus, your shoulders begin to
relax more and more comfortably, more and more deeply, more and more enjoyably,
letting go of all the stress and tension, and feeling a warm blanket of relaxation, of
comfort and ease descending upon you. As you feel more and more comfortable, you
realize how restful and peaceful self-hypnosis is.

Self-hypnosis is easy, fun, and totally enjoyable. It gives you a tremendous amount of rest
and ability to recuperate. Because your body knows it's good for you, because your mind
knows it's good for you and because your unconscious mind knows that self-hypnosis is
good for you, you'll begin to find yourself practicing self-hypnosis on a daily basis.

Self-hypnosis is healthy. Self-hypnosis is fun. Self-hypnosis is good for you. You can enjoy
looking forward to your daily practice of self-hypnosis, a time to recharge your batteries,
a time to prepare the future, a time to let good things come to you, attracting them like a
magnet attracts iron filings.

I would like you to focus on your ribcage and your breathing. Notice how your chest,
your ribs, and your breathing can relax, even feel the comfort of relaxation; relaxing
your breathing, relaxing your ribs, your entire chest area.

As you feel that relaxation, a good, calm, confident feeling can grow inside you because
in self-hypnosis you're talking directly to your unconscious mind, and that is
tremendously powerful. It will help you become more confident as a person, healthier,
and happier. Anything that can be improved in your life can be improved quicker, more

74

easily, and with greater fun and amazing results using the power of self-hypnosis. So you
can use self-hypnosis to achieve all the things that you want.

Now you're going deeper and deeper, more and more comfortable, more and more
relaxed. Pay attention to your arms. Feel your arms relaxing, sinking down, loose and
relaxed, limp, heavy, a wonderful feeling. Because you're feeling so wonderful right now,
because your body is so relaxed, you're recovering your vitality, you're revitalizing,
becoming full of energy, happier and more confident.

Through hypnosis you can become happier and more confident and become happier as a
person, which means that your confidence grows on a day by day basis. Because self-
hypnosis is so easy, because self-hypnosis is so much fun, you might find yourself doing it
every day, and looking forward to your next opportunity to experience self-hypnosis once
again.

Pay attention to your lower abdomen, your hips, and your lower back. The whole lower
portion of your body can relax just as completely, just as easily, just as comfortably as
everywhere else. As you're relaxing so comfortably, your unconscious mind is learning
that in self-hypnosis you learn to relax and become more comfortable as a person, which
means you become more resilient to life. Resilient people achieve their goals more easily.
Self-hypnosis helps you achieve your goals more quickly and more easily.

Already you’ve achieved one important goal. Right now you’re feeling deeply relaxed,
comfortable, and at ease. You can take that ease and memorize it thoroughly. Find your
way back to it any time you want or need to.

You'll find this inner peace and tranquility every single time that you go into self-
hypnosis. Your unconscious mind will take your prehypnotic suggestions, your regular
hypnotic suggestions, your visualizations, and respond to them. In self-hypnosis you can
program your unconscious mind to do what you want, achieve what you want, overcome
any problem; lead a happy, rewarding, and successful life.

Now pay attention to your thighs and the upper portion of your legs. Feel your thighs
relaxing as I take you deeper and deeper into a very pleasant, very tranquil, very
peaceful hypnotic trance, in which your unconscious mind begins to acquire mastery over
this self-hypnosis process.

Self-hypnosis is easy. Self-hypnosis is fun. Self-hypnosis is deeply enjoyable, which is why


you can practice self-hypnosis daily, enjoy it daily, and look forward to your next
opportunity to practice self-hypnosis again.

Pay attention to your lower legs, your calves, and your feet, and allow these to relax
thoroughly. As your calves and your feet relax thoroughly, you can enjoy a tremendous
sense of excitement, of looking forward to using self-hypnosis in your own life, using self-
hypnosis as a force for good in your own life. Achieve any goal, overcome any problem,

75

become more creative, learn things more quickly. This is all possible through the power
of self-hypnosis.

I'm going to count from five down to one, and with each number between five and one
you're going to go ten times more deeply relaxed, ten times deeper into hypnosis, so that
by the time I come to the count of one you'll be at the perfect level of hypnosis, the perfect
level of relaxation in order for your unconscious mind to program in and permanently
acquire the skill of self-hypnosis for you to use in your whole life.

Ready now: five, feel going deeper. Four, deeper, deeper, and deeper. Three, all the way
down into a comfortable, relaxed, amazing hypnotic experience. Two, your unconscious
mind preparing to absorb the self-hypnosis process. One, deeply relaxed, deep hypnosis.
Ready to master the self-hypnosis process because from this day forward, anytime that
you want to go into hypnosis for the purposes of self-hypnosis, you're going to begin by
preparing yourself.

You're going to choose a time and a place where they are free from distractions. You'll
decide on how long you want to go into self-hypnosis and then you'll tell yourself, “I'm
going to go into self-hypnosis,” and you insert the amount of time.

“If at any point during this time something should happen on the outside that requires my
attention, I will awaken instantly feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert; ready to deal with the
situation.” If there is an emergency or some other reason for you to come out of
hypnosis, you will do so instantly after preparing yourself, making the time and safety
statement.

You're going to break out your prehypnotic suggestions and read through them five, ten,
twelve times, however often seems right to fill your mind with the idea of the prehypnotic
suggestion. Then you're going to go into trance, but by looking at the spot on the wall
slightly above eye level, focusing all your attention until you feel some tension in your
eyes.

Then as you relax your eyes, allowing your vision to expand into peripheral vision, allow
that to continue and your breathing will shift; and you'll feel your breathing shifting. Just
close your eyes and go deep, deep into hypnosis, as deep as you are now, or deeper still.

Then you can allow yourself to drift through a pleasant, hypnotic, and tranquil
experience, or visualize a scene before returning at the right time, the time that you
determined during the preparation stage. When you return you'll stand up, stretch, and
look at your watch, so that your unconscious mind can connect your clock time with your
inner time. It’s as simple as that.

You prepare yourself by setting a time and making a safety statement. You read through
your prehypnotic suggestions to fill your mind up and you fix your attention on a point
just slightly above eye level until you feel a slight tension.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


76

Then you relax your eyes. Let them soften, your vision expanding like ripples on a pond
until you feel your breathing shifting. When your breathing shifts, simply close your eyes
and allow yourself to drift through the hypnotic experience, or visualize a calming scene,
or visualize a goal or a skill.

When it's time for you to return you'll know, and you'll bring yourself back by
reanimating your body, reinvigorating yourself. Your breathing will come back to
normal. Your eyes will open up. You'll open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert;
simply fantastic.

You'll get up and stretch. Look at the clock so that you can check and coordinate clock
time with inner time. Now self-hypnosis has been installed in the unconscious level. It's
easy to do. It's easy to remember, and it's fun to go through life using self-hypnosis.

Now, in a moment I'm going to count from one to five. At the count of five you'll come
back out of trance feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply fantastic; knowing that self-
hypnosis has been induced at the deepest unconscious level.

Every time you go into self-hypnosis it will be easier to use self-hypnosis. It will be more
fun and more enjoyable, and you can look forward to using self-hypnosis on a daily basis
to improve yourself and enjoy all the benefits that self-hypnosis has to offer.

So as I count from one to five you will become more and more alert. At the count of five
your eyes will open up. You'll feel refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply fantastic; knowing
that you have self-hypnosis and you can find your way back to it any time you want.

Ready now: one, coming up slowly. Two, feeling more alert. Three, your breathing is
beginning to shift. Four, allow your sensations to come back to your hands, your feet, all
the normal sensations; and five, open your eyes feeling refreshed, relaxed, alert, simply
fantastic.

Take a few moments to orient yourself, and congratulate yourself for having installed
self-hypnosis successfully at the unconscious level.

Self Hypnosis Debrief


Track 8 1:41

Congratulations and welcome back. That induction allowed you to install the self-
hypnosis process inside of yourself, so that your unconscious mind gets used to the habit
and the way of doing it.

The way you can basically condition yourself to be able to use self-hypnosis constantly is
very simple. Go back to the previous track and listen to it several times, maybe once a
day. If you have time, maybe twice a day. Each time just allow your mind to go to that
special calm, relaxed, and tranquil state.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


77

As you do this, the actual experience of hypnosis will be conditioned inside of you and
make it easier for you to find again. Then when you think you’ve found it, in other words
when you have been guided through it a few times and you're kind of familiar with the
territory, I would like for you to go on to the next track.

How To Do Self Hypnosis By Yourself


On the next track I'm going to basically give you the beginning part of that process again,
without the ending. This time, instead of guiding you all the way through I'm just going
to point out the steps of the process, roughly in time with when they will happen. You, of
course, end up doing the steps in the process this way.

This way you kind of wean yourself off the main induction and you begin to slowly go
under hypnosis under your own steam. Eventually you can even let go of the following
track, the one that I've got for you, and you'll still be able to go into hypnosis any time
you want or need to. As soon as you have a little bit of experience with the installation
induction, just go on to the next track and see how far you can go under your own steam.

The Self Hypnosis Live Practice Assistant


Track 9 2:48

This is the live assistant to help you on your steps to using self-hypnosis by yourself,
whenever you want to. Just make yourself comfortable and begin the preparation phase
for self-hypnosis. In other words, tell yourself how long you want this hypnotic session to
last. “This hypnotic session is going to last five minutes,” let's say.

Then remind yourself of the safety statement. ”If at anytime during the course of this
hypnosis session you should need to come back and be fully alert for an emergency, or if
someone else needs your attention, you'll come back instantly feeling refreshed, relaxed,
alert; ready to deal with the situation in hand.” Very good.

Now pick up your prehypnotic suggestions on a piece of paper and read through them a
few times. I'll be silent for a few minutes to give you a chance to read through them a few
times.

[silence]

Very good. Now if you should need more time to read through your prehypnotic
suggestions, just pause this recording for a while and start it up again as soon as you're
ready to begin with the induction.

To begin the induction, make yourself comfortable. Choose a spot above eye level and
focus your attention on it until you feel sudden tension. That’s right. Now relax your eyes
until you can begin to see more and more of the room. Very good.

© 2008 Street Hypnosis – http://www.StreetHypnosis.com


78

Continue to relax your eyes until you begin to sense your breathing shifted. Pay attention
to that breathing, and then just simply close your eyes and continue the rest of the
hypnotic process by yourself, until you're ready to bring yourself back out.

How To Practice Self Hypnosis


Track 10 3:17

If you have followed this program step by step up to this point, then by now you will
have installed self-hypnosis at an unconscious level and even practiced going into self-
hypnosis, following the rough guide in the previous track. Now you have everything you
need in order to be able to achieve all the different goals and use the power of self-
hypnosis in your own life.

The only question that remains is, how do you practice? How often do you do it and
when and where do you do it?

When & Where To Practice


The simple answer to this is you can practice as often as you like, really. However, once
you hit three sessions per day you kind of hit diminishing returns. I would say try to
practice at least once a day, and go up to no more than three sessions a day. If you decide
you want to do that, maybe do some in the morning, maybe at lunchtime, and in the
evening.

How long should the session be?


I would say spend at least five minutes, and go into as long as fifteen minutes if you
want. You can spend longer if you want, half an hour or an hour, but really five to fifteen
minutes is an ideal time. Always choose the time ahead of time, and remind yourself in
the preparation how long you wish to take.

Stay Alert
Remember the key thing is that you remain kind of alert as you drift through this trance.
You do not want to be falling asleep and waking up an hour or so later. If that happens,
don’t concern yourself with it. Just remember to be more aware. You're looking for a
receptive mind, not a mind that’s asleep.

When your mind is receptive you're kind of aware of things, but it's sort of a detached
state where nothing really matters, where nothing is really important. It feels good and it's
very comfortable. When you're asleep, of course—well, you should know what it's like to
be asleep.

Practice Regularly
The final idea that I want to leave you with is the idea of practicing regularly. It's better to
do five minutes a day every day than that you save it all up into maybe half an hour over
the weekend or an hour once a month. So five minutes a day of regular practice is the
best. One way to achieve this is to choose a time of day that you do it.

Perhaps you're at your freshest in the morning when you get up. That’s the perfect time to
do it. Perhaps you're at your freshest in the evening. If you're an evening person, do it
then.

Perhaps it doesn’t really matter what time of day you do it, and then it doesn’t matter; in
which case I would strongly suggest that you still pick a time and do it at the same time
every day. You see, the unconscious mind is a creature of habit and the more you can
create a habit—the same place, the same time, the same environment—the more the
unconscious mind kind of gets used to the ritual, when we just do it.

If you’ve got a crazy schedule where you sometimes come in late, sometimes come in
early, and you really can't say what time you'll have spare to do self-hypnosis, the two
times which are ideal to choose will be just after you wake up and just before you go to
bed. These are two times that will always be set in your life, no matter how crazy your
schedule is. You'll always be going to bed at some point and you'll always be getting up
at some point.

With these thoughts, all I have left to do is to wish you all the best success in using the
power of hypnosis in your own life.

This is the end of CD Three and with it is the end of this program. If you liked the things
you discovered here and would like to explore the power of self-hypnosis more deeply,
then come and have a look at my home study course called “The Power of Self-Hypnosis
for Guaranteed Results.” You'll find all the details on my Web site:

It's all one word.

I would like to thank you for accompanying me on this journey through “The Secrets of
Street Hypnosis,” and I hope that you enjoyed learning these fascinating skills as much as
I did. Perhaps we'll have the chance to meet again on another audio seminar, or live and
in person. Until then, I want to wish you great success in your use of Street Hypnosis.
